Evaluation und Einsatz von Copernicus Daten in der offentlichen Verwaltung
Since the launch of the Copernicus programme, free satellite data and services have been provided not just to the academic users, but also to the German public administration. The Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) has been using remote sensing data for the development of many of its products. To continue with this trend, three new projects have been initiated to investigate the extent to which Copernicus data can support the production of applications related to land use and monitoring. This paper discusses not only the potential of the Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 data for land cover and land use applications, but also how this data can be fused into use with the HRL and the existing LBM DE. Thus, we aim to provide an overview of the many land applications of the Copernicus data as well as the new ways to optimise the existing classification systems.
