Identification of Agricultural Crops in the European Union using New Opportunities and a New National Register of Agricultural Information

摘要

The European Union's agricultural policy (CAP) was changed in 1992; the subsidies of production were replaced by area based subsidies. In Denmark this led to the construction of a control system based on a national register of agricultural Information (GLR/CHR) and a field block map, both managed by the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. This register stores among other things the yearly claims for subsidy from more than 60,000 fanners, information on husbandry and fertilisation etc. In 1996 the control system was taken into use for the first time. The Remote Sensing Unit at DIAS has since 1993 performed a part of the control of the area based subsidies by remote sensing. In 1996 new digital topographic information became available, both changing and improving the used techniques. This paper describes how the control of the agricultural crops is performed using these new opportunities.
