Earth Observation for International Financial Institutions (EOFI) Service Trial 2: UN-IFAD – Development Planning presented by Telecon, 23 rd of November, 2010 Rainer Fockelmann

© GAF AG, 20102Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning High Resolution EO Imagery Product Highlights: -Very recent dataset -Homogeneous coverage (one sensor, vast majority of scenes from 2009), visible and NIR (Near Infrared) information Expected benefit of the EO: -Objective information on large areas. -Most recent information on the area -Basis for other information layers. Production issues: --

© GAF AG, 20103Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning Land Cover Map 2009 Product Highlights -13 thematic classes defined according to user demand. -Proven high thematic accuracy -0.5ha MMU for the detection of small features. -Statistics per thematic class and region.

© GAF AG, 20105Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning Land Cover Map 2009 Production issues: -Road network could have been monitored more detailed by using a different sensor (with a different spatial resolution) -Water bodies depend on the water level at the acquisition date; multi-temporal datasets could provide a more consolidated delineation. -Geometric problems (spatial deviations) within the provided datasets from the user, mainly caused by different projections within the area -Additional effort for the ArcVIEW 3.3 compatibility

Expected benefit of the EO: -Objective Indicator Map to detect “Hot Spots” -Reduction of Field trips -Comparison of communes through statistics Production issues: -Additional effort for the ArcVIEW 3.3 compatibility

© GAF AG, 20107Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning DEM Product Highlights: -High Resolution DEM with 30m pixel size -Error-corrected DEM, adapted to the regional topographic features -Basis for additional information layers Expected benefit of the EO: -Basis for various planning applications within the area -Basis for additional GIS analysis operations Production issues: -Additional effort for the ArcVIEW 3.3 compatibility

© GAF AG, 20108Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning DEM Layers: Basic Drainage System Product Highlights: -Identification of drainage basins -Characterisation of streams/rivers according to hydrographical standards Expected benefit of the EO: -Important planning tool for irrigation planning and flood prevention -Advanced planning options through GIS import and analysis Production issues: -Additional effort during sub-optimal sensor (data with higher spatial resolution would have been better suited). -Additional effort for the ArcVIEW 3.3 compatibility

© GAF AG, 20109Telephone Conference | Service Trial 2: Development Planning DEM Layers: Slope and Aspect Product Highlights: -Detailed information on the area topography regarding Slope and Aspect Expected benefit of the EO: -Advanced planning options (e.g. Flood events) through GIS Import and combination with the Land Cover products (e.g. Detection of areas with suitable slope grades and potential for road planning or farming) -Cost efficient way to derive such information Production issues: -Additional effort for the ArcVIEW 3.3 compatibility
