TERRASENSE compared with other approaches.
Field surveys give an accurate verdict; satellite images give a wide view. TERRASENSE links the two with a survey order and evidence.
| Field survey only | Optical imagery only | TERRASENSE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Fields visited | Whole scene | All registered fields (10 m cells) |
| After a cloudy typhoon or monsoon | Depends on access | Cloudy cells unusable | Cloud cells dropped; floods via Sentinel-1 radar |
| Before/after | Surveyor’s photos and memory | User picks scenes by hand | Automatic scene pick, crop growth-curve correction |
| Harvest decline | Surveyor judges | Hard to separate | Normal decline discounted |
| Survey order | Order of claims | None | 3 damage + 1 control coordinates |
| Parcel boundaries | Cadastral map check | None | SAM2 candidates (not official) |
| Output | Survey sheet | Image files | Damage map, area, share; PDF, CSV, GeoJSON |
| Final verdict | Certified assessor | n/a | Certified assessor (TERRASENSE screens first) |
General characteristics; they vary by organisation and product.
TERRASENSE is a satellite first screening of suspected damage. It does not replace the crop-insurance loss assessment: the loss rate and indemnity are confirmed by a certified loss assessor in the field.
Together
It does not replace; it helps up front.
Satellites first
Look across the whole area on one standard and pick the most suspect fields.
Field confirms
Photos and measurements at the survey points confirm cause and extent.
People decide
The certified assessor confirms the loss rate and indemnity.
