Methodology for the Automatic Inventory of Olive Groves at the Plot and Polygon Level

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a methodology carry out olive grove inventories based on open data sources automatic photogrammetric satellite image analysis techniques. To do so, tools protocols have been developed that made it possible automate the capture images different characteristics origins, enable use sources, as well integrating metadating them. They can then be used for development validation algorithms allow improving characterization surfaces at plot cadastral polygon scales. With proposed system, an inventory Andalusian has automatically carried level polygons provinces, which accounted total 1,519,438 hectares 171,980,593 trees. These contrasted with various official statistical thus ensuring their reliability even identifying some inconsistencies or errors sources. Likewise, capacity Sentinel 2 estimate FCC polygon, parcel 10 × m pixel demonstrated quantified, opportunity temporal resolutions approximately up 5 days.
