Milestones:
Milestone 1: List of end-user requirements that will be used in the operationalization of the overall national A.dealbata mapping (WP 2 and 5) and also for assessing its impact (WP7) (June 2026).
Milestone 2: Reference site selection methodology for A. dealbata and corresponding reference sites over national extents to be used for WP4. (June 2027)
Milestone 3: Weakly supervised UAV and VHR image segmentation models of A.dealbata and their application to the reference sites coming from WP3 to derive the training data needed for WP5. (April 2028)
Milestone 4: A.dealbata maps for each of the 3 years of the project and a validation report concerning the year 2 map which will be made public alongside the maps (September 2028).
