The mobile application that simplifies field control

The inspiration behind the creation of FABER was the idea to have a single platform for taking pictures and certifying the existence of the declared crop. FABER provides a suitable solution for ground-truth certification of location-based agricultural subsidies.

With the aid of the application – after registration – one can simply take certified photographs of their parcels. Beyond the visual content of these pictures, the registration of the location and time of taking the photo, ID of the user and the plot’s unique ID serve for further certification.

Main functions

Our app supports authentic parcel tracking and tracking with four key features:

Taking authentic photos

The definition and recording of the location and circumstances of taking the photo ensure that the pictures were indeed taken of the given parcel.hgfhfg

Clear traceability of certification process

Clear symbolization of spatial data, together with listing of parcels and their respective photos support the transparency of the progress of certification.hgfhfg

Displaying time-series data regarding the parcels

Satellite images for every month of the selected period provide a way of tracing the changes occurred on the respective plot.hgfhfg

Checking the status of parcels on satellite images

  • changes of the parcels can be traced based on the latest satellite images
  • continuous data service is provided by the Sentinel-2 satellite programme of the European Space Agency (ESA)
  • images for the current year are continuously updated

Completely offline operation

  • during the inspection, the internet may be unavailable in the respective region
  • the application is operational regardless the internet connection after the one-time download of spatial data
