Tens of thousands of field measurements, collected across multiple countries and locations since 2020. This is the ground truth that calibrates and validates everything we model.
The accuracy of any model or satellite-based analysis starts with the quality of its input data. We build that quality at the source — in the field.
Since 2020, our teams have carried out measurement campaigns across multiple countries and locations, accumulating tens of thousands of in-situ measurements. The result is a deep, consistent field record spanning soil and a wide range of crops — sugar beet, potato, tomato, barley, wheat, and grasslands — collected season after season under controlled, repeatable protocols.
Long-term experience matters here. Field conditions vary; instruments drift; light changes by the hour. What turns a single day of readings into a usable dataset is method — and method is what five years of continuous campaigns have given us.
The accuracy of a dataset starts with the instruments behind it. We operate field-grade spectrometric equipment and certified calibration references, used to harmonized protocols so measurements stay comparable across sites, seasons, and missions.
ASD FieldSpec 4 Hi-Res spectrometer
High-resolution reflectance across the full optical range (350–2500 nm), capturing the spectral detail required for both soil and vegetation analysis.
Calibration standards
Field and laboratory calibration using reference panels, ensuring radiometric consistency between campaigns and traceability back to a known reference.
Accredited laboratories
Soil and vegetation samples undergo comprehensive chemical and biophysical analysis in accredited facilities, anchoring spectral data to measured ground properties.
Mission-harmonized protocols
Our field methods are aligned with current and upcoming hyperspectral satellite missions — Sentinel-2, EnMAP (DLR), PRISMA (ASI), and the Copernicus CHIME mission.
A field campaign is only as good as its design. Before anyone enters the field, we define what is being measured and why — the target parameters, the sampling density, and the acquisition window aligned to satellite overpasses.
Tell us what you need to measure, and we will design the campaign around it — from sampling design to a delivered, traceable dataset.
Need to measure something else? Our methods extend well beyond standard soil and crop parameters — contact us to discuss your case.
