RapidEye Images Agricultural Areas

  30/10/2009
RapidEye, the only geospatial solutions provider to own and operate a constellation of five identical Earth Observation satellites, announced that they have successfully run a Precision Farming pilot project for Agro Risk Euro Scan GmbH (ARES). The product of the project is the Crop Scan, and supports the German farming community in agricultural planning. ARES acts as RapidEye's service partner for Precision Farming solutions.

From March to September 2009, RapidEye imaged 8,000 hectares multiple times in Germany and provided ARES with up-to-date ground cover maps for different crop types such as wheat, rapeseed, barley, corn and sugar beets each month. The maps helped farmers requesting this product to better plan their agricultural fields and crops for the upcoming months.

 

Timeliness and accuracy of information is key when providing frequent agricultural monitoring. The RapidEye constellation of five satellites has the ability to image individual fields, counties, states or countries on a frequent revisit cycle. Customers can receive field-based information including crop identification, crop area determination, crop condition monitoring and growth stage determination.

 

"The results of the project were extremely satisfying, and through this new partnership with ARES we will be able to strengthen our position in the precision agriculture market. We are looking forward to going operational with this service in Germany in conjunction with ARES in 2010. We also expect that we will have additional opportunities to partner with them in the future on other ventures," commented Michael Prechtel, Head of Sales and Marketing for RapidEye.

 

ARES will exhibit RapidEye's range of products and services at this year's Agritechnica in Hannover, Germany, from 8-14 November. Agritechnica is the worldwide meeting point for the agricultural machinery sector. Visit ARES booth in hall 16, number C04. Learn more about ARES by visiting their website at www.cropscan.de, which will be accessible on 11th November 2009.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
