Crop Map of England (CROME) 2016 - Complete
The Crop Map of England (CROME) Complete is a polygon vector dataset mainly containing the crop types of England. The dataset contains approximately 32 million hexagonal cells classifying England into over 20 main crop types, grassland, and non-agricultural land covers, such as Woodland, Water Bodies, Fallow Land and other non-agricultural land covers. The classification was created automatically using supervised classification (Random Forest Classification) from the combination of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images during the period late January 2016 – August 2016. The dataset was created to aid the classification of crop types from optical imagery, which can be affected by cloud cover. The results were checked against survey data collected by field inspectors and visually validated. refer to the CROME specification document. Attribution Statement: © Rural Payments Agency

The sources for crop classification are satellite images from the Sentinel constellation. A combination of radar and multispectral imagery from Sentinel sensors was used for automatic classification.
