Land cover ground reference data in São Paulo state, Brazil, taken in 2015

Land cover reference data containing original point layer, relocated point layer to the fields and field polygons. Information includes date of acquisition, geolocation, photograph web address, crop type, phenological stage, crop height, additional notes of field. The objective was to collect data for training and validation of optical and radar remote sensing-based land cover monitoring models. The ground reference data was acquired through the freely available mobile app EpiCollect, developed at Imperial College London. The work has been carried out within the framework of the joint BE-Basic FAPESP project: 2013/50943-9

本数据集为土地覆盖参考数据，包含原始点图层、已校正至对应实地地块的点位图层以及地块多边形图层。数据信息涵盖数据获取日期、地理定位信息、照片网址、作物类型、物候阶段、作物高度以及实地附加备注。本数据集的采集目标是为基于光学与雷达遥感的土地覆盖监测模型的训练与验证提供数据支撑。本次地面参考数据通过伦敦帝国理工学院开发的免费移动应用EpiCollect采集获取。本研究工作依托BE-Basic与FAPESP联合项目框架开展，项目编号为2013/50943-9
