LPVE2018 - Workshop on Land Product Validation and Evolution
27 February - 01 March 2018
Following the successful LPVE 2014, the European Space Agency (ESA) is inviting scientists and Cal/Val experts to present the latest results from their on-going research, including the evolution of products, the latest development in validation, the inter-comparison methodologies and the evolution of algorithms, at the 2018 Workshop on Land Product Validation and Evolution (LPVE 2018).
The workshop will be held at ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, from 27 February to 01 March 2018; it intends to address the following objectives:
- Provide an overview on current land product Cal/Val approaches and protocols and their evolution
- Revisit existing calibration and validation protocols and standards in the light of newly available satellite data, including Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3
- Present land product inter-comparison methodologies (in situ, satellite-satellite)
- Discuss data harmonisation approaches across sensors
- Identify key recommendations for ESA land product algorithm evolution
- Formulate recommendations for future land products and future Cal/Val activities
- Encourage close collaboration between Cal/Val and research groups
