Satellite images bring the ability to capture a wide area in one go, and to acquire systematic, standardized and up-to-date information for both farmers and nature managers. However, cloud coverage often blocks satellite views of crop fields during crucial periods. Where satellite imagery lacks sufficient resolution, coverage, or timing, BIOSCOPE will use unmanned aerial systems to provide higher resolution imagery as a more sustainable alternative to airplanes. The goal is to create an on-demand satellite and UAS service to make imagery more reliable, robust and adaptable to user needs.

Satellite images bring the ability to capture a wide
area in one go, and to acquire systematic,
standardized and up-to-date information. Both
farmers and nature managers can use these for
their field observations.
However, while farmers need sharp images to direct
fertilizer and crop protection to those parts of the
crop needing it, in crucial parts of the season clouds
often block a clear look from space.
Nature managers are also looking for more efficient
and objective ways to monitor their efforts, to
preserve and improve the quality of nature terrains,
while needing images especially in the vegetation
season.
Where satellite imagery is not sufficient in terms of
resolution (spatial), coverage (clouds), or timing
(short term planning), BIOSCOPE will acquire
imagery using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). UAS
are a less noisy and more sustainable alternative to
airplanes with a much greater image detail than
satellites. The objective of this study thus is to
create a combined on-demand UAS & satellite
service that will provide both types of users, making
the service more reliable reliable, more robust, and
more adaptable to the needs. Thereby the service
fosters a wider use of satellite imagery.
