RICE MAPPING WITH SENTINEL-1

Case Study: Vietnam, 2018

The Research and User Support for Sentinel core products (RUS) service provides a free and open
scalable platform in a powerful computing environment, hosting a suite of open source toolboxes
pre-installed on virtual machines, to handle and process data derived from the Copernicus Sentinel
satellites constellation.
In this tutorial, we will employ RUS to detect rice using a dense time-series of Sentinel-1 GRD
products as input data over an area in Vietnam.
