Forest and agriculture monitoring system

The FAMOS project aims at providing a service for forest status monitoring tailored to the requirements of commercial clients from the commodity sector, especially within the context of cocoa, palm oil, and rubber. The service makes use of satellite-based Earth Observation, which enables the production of a precise thematic classification and change detection, as well as satellite navigation (GNSS) in order to support in-situ assessments, which allows the localisation of previously detected changes in forest or areas of interest and the geo-referencing of areas of interests.
