    <abstract>
      <para>The High Resolution Layer Crop Types (CTY) raster product provides high resolution crop type classification for 17 classes of both arable and permanent crops accross the EEA38 extent. Using both Sentinel-1 and Sentiel-2, the model is finetuned to first map the crop field boundaries, and then determine the main crop for each field. This dataset is provided annually starting in 2017 with 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries. High Resolution Layer Croplands product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. Confidence layer available for the dataset.This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs).</para>

          <para>The HRL Crop Types (CTY) have been trained using a temporal transformer-based neural networks on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 time-series, Copernicus DEM and meteo data for all reference years. The model was trained on an extensive in-situ dataset of more than one million samples compiled from LPIS and LUCAS datasets. Post-classification processing steps include spatial (Mimimum Mapping Unit: 0.25ha) and temporal filtering to assure a high consistency of the time series. Thematic target accuracy: 80% producer and user accuracy. The HRL Crop Types is a new dataset in the CLMS portfolio, starting its timeseries with annual updates from reference year 2017. Quality assurance follows the ISO9000 standards for Quality Management and comprises of dedicated procedures of ongoing quality checks (QA breakpoints) during implementation of the production chain, in order to keep persistent control over the various stages of production, assure fitness-for-purpose of the end-products and that all quality requirements are fulfilled. Priority has been given to the target thematic accuracies to be achieved by each product, as well as to the issues of product consistency (spatial, thematic, temporal) and homogeneity. Quality Assessment: The quality assessment has been performed according to INSPIRE Data Specifications. The data quality elements considered are: completeness, logical consistency, thematic accuracy, temporal quality and usability. Each of them (excl. the Thematic Accuracy hereafter) forms a section in the QA/QC Procedures.</para>
