1. 1 Applying Remote Sensing Technology to Agricultural Statistics of Beijing Wang Yanyan Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics October 2008

2. 2 Contents  Introduction  About the projects  Achievements  Current progress of the practical application

3. 3 Introduction Brief Review of Remote Sensing (RS )Application in China  Researches and practices have been conducted by governmental departments and research institutes since 1980’s.  Statistical departments began to use RS in recent years:  National Bureau of Statistics of China

4. 4 Why we use RS - advantages of RS compared with the conventional methods  Spatiality : spatial distribution  Objectivity: avoid subjective factors or artificial interference  Efficiency : up-to-date data, less time, money, labor force spent on statistical survey Introduction

5. 5 What we do on RS  2 projects based on RS:  Construction of Statistical Visual Platform based on “Beijing -1 Microsatellite”  Beijing Statistical Ecological Resource Remote Sensing Measurement Operation System

6. 6 Targets of our projects  Study the methodology and techniques fit for RS application to Beijing agriculture  Develop a software platform  Achieve the RS vocational operation in agricultural statistics of Beijing About the Projects

7. 7 Subjects of the Projects  Area measurement of wheat and maize  Yield estimation of wheat and maize  Area measurement of agricultural facilities  Vegetation coverage monitoring and NPP (Net Primary Production) estimation  Development of System Software About the Projects

8. 8 Main methods of the projects  Precise Extraction Method Based on “Parcel of Field” Unit  Parcel-Level Method of RS Integrated with Spatial Sampling About the Projects

9. 9 The methodology and techniques system contains:  Key Methodology and Techniques  Implementation Plan  Accuracy Evaluation System  Emergency Program About the Projects

10. 10  Spatial distributions of wheat and maize area  Spatial distributions of agricultural facilities area  System software demonstration Achievements
