Abstract
The outcome of a multi-year project carried out across sites within Canada has been the development of a method to deliver crop inventories using the integration of SAR and optical satellite data. Although multi-temporal optical imagery can classify crops at the target accuracy, SAR data will be valuable in boosting accuracies and ensuring operational delivery of this annual inventory.
