Sen2Agri final version was just published

The Sen2Agri system was just released in version 2.0. As the project is now terminated and will not receive more funding from ESA, V2_0 is the final version, apart maybe for a few bug fixes. Sen2Agri is a very complete ground segment that automates download and processing of Sentinel-2 data to obtain multi-temporal syntheses, crop/non crop, and crop type masks as well as biophysical variables and phenological indicators. It was designed to be able to process the Sentinel-2 data over whole countries. The Sen2AGri system has been a huge success. I receive an email each time MACCS/MAJA is downloaded, and I just counted 651 downloads after sorting them out the double download,The new version includes the most recent version of MAJA (3.3) for atmospheric correction and cloud detection (but without using the CAMS data, which are not always easy to access), an early version of WASP to make the composites, an early version of Iota2 to obtain crop types, a processor to obtain the crop/non Crop mask, and a processor to compute biophysical variables inspired by the works of F.Baret and M.Weiss at INRA. The consortium, funded by ESA, was lead by Sophie Bontemps et Pierre Defourny at the Université Catholique de Louvain. The system was developed by CS-SI France and Romania, and most of the methods were designed in CESBIO.

The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]
