SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING, EVALUATING AND PREDICTING LAND USE AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

摘要

A system and methods for analyzing land use and productivity. The invention relates to land use analysis through detection, monitoring and evaluating changes in particular land regions of interest and the analysis of changes in such land use as well as the forecasting of in-season productivity of vegetation in the region of interest. This system and methods is applicable to facilitate the automatic preparation of reports for a selected parcel of land that evaluates changes in land use and creates a quantitative report for one or more land regions of interest. This system and methods is useful to assess compliance with government regulations or standards regarding land use as well as provide a predictive land use productivity model used for commodity trading.
