Olive and Vineyard Registers (LIS)

Trifylia, Prefecture of Messinia, Greece

Environmental

The establishment of an Olive and Vineyard Register, as dictated by EU Regulations, is a mandate for continuing subsidizing of olive oil raising and wine. It is based on identification of all olive and vineyard parcels on ortho-rectified aerial images. All parcels had to be identified on the orthophotos and a declaration had to be filled by each cultivator.

​

The project was based on an integrated database-driven System for collecting, cross-checking and identifying all parcels using CAPI techniques (Computer Aided Photointerpretation) and extensive field work in co-operation witl local recruitment. The total declarations for Trifylia alone were about 13,000 declarations and over 40,000 parcels positively identified.

​

In technical terms: Full geographical database under Microsoft Access/ Oracle 9i. / 2 major software applications using full ArcObjects, MapObjects in VB and .NET VB and C# / Topology controls using custom C++ / Assembly modules / Analogue print-outs (map-sheets), more than 40,000 batch-processed using Crystal Reports.
