17 INTA Diego de Abelleyra, Santiago Verón In which context do you plan to use the system: operational or scientific? Scientific at least in a first stage Is the Sen2Agri system matching your expectations? Yes.

Do you imagine to operate the system in your facility or would you prefer using only the products delivered by an external entity? Operate the system. Need help in distributed computing configuration with local infrastructure. Is it possible to customize the code for local situations? If you plan to operate the system, would you go for an automatic or rather a manual system operating? Automatic. We are moving towards automatization of image processing at INTA.

18 INTA Diego de Abelleyra, Santiago verón What are the critical points to make this system operational according to your experience? Time required for processing a study area, particularly for big areas (country, province level). What are the key points of attention for your institution (including the feasibility of a cloudcomputing solution)? Keep control of the processing steps.

Useful for non expert users. Reduced automatization?

19 Guido Lemoine JRC Operational use mostly, there's not too much science in NDVI in LAI (left). Complement to low resolution trends analysis to add crop specific area components to our methodology. It is still unclear whether it is a system or a toolbox. We prefer an extension of S2TBX, not a separate tool/system. In this way, there is more likelihood that it will be maintained and extended by the user community. We would run a toolbox extension as part of our internal infrastructure. Free data + open source for maximum scalability. Implementation should support both ad hoc processing (i.e. via toolbox interface) and batch processing linked with programmed downloads (e.g. OpenSearch + gpt). Proven concept for S1A.

20 Guido Lemoine - JRC Critical points for an operational system are spatial and temporal consistency of the products for arbitrary areas extending beyond single S2A coverage [but in the same agro-ecological zone]. This requires robust pre-processing (as part of S2TBX) in cloud masking, atmospheric correction and [post-classification] composition, including gap filling. Sentinel data will very likely end up in generic hosted computing infrastructures (Google Earth Engine, Amazon, etc.). Thus methods should be portable into those environments. The open source nature of the S2Agri toolbox facilitates that. We will think about re-processing after we have seen the processing outputs and understand upgrading requirements, if any. Maximum compatibility with S2TBX GUI should be aimed at.
