Description: ESA Sentinels missions will provide enhanced capabilities in the revisit frequency, and the coverage. Their complete exploitation is in the combination of the two to advantage of a further increased revisiting time and in the use of different wavelenght domains. This reflects in the capabilities to detect features of changes induced by different factors including natural hazards and crop managing. The objective of the COMMONS project is to develop and validate robust methods to generate land mapping products by using jointly Sentinel-1 C band SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery.
