Preciel Project (2014 - 2020)
Summary of the project
" Efficiency of cropping systems: production / irrigation "
PRECIEL (2015-2020) studies the efficiency of crops in order to create a service to help manage irrigation and estimate crop yields on a large scale.
The work is based on a research work (financing of a thesis) validated by 2 publications of international rank as well as several conferences.
The innovation comes from the use of a new type of satellite images: the Sentinel-1 Radar images which make possible the follow-up of agricultural surfaces without meteorological constraint (cloudiness, etc...).
A demonstration tool has been set up in 2019 confirming the good performance of the estimates.
