Kvalita
Reference parcels are generated by the State Agricultural Intervention Fund (Paying Agency) by photointerpretation and digitisation of orthoimagery in scale 1: 600 - 1: 800. The boundaries of Reference parcels are updated based on actual orthophotos, that are captured and created by Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre (metadata: https://geoportal.cuzk.cz/). Besides that, Reference parcels are updated continuously during the year on the basis of inputs from geospatial aplication, results of systematic field visits and interpretations of satellite imagery, provided as part of the annual on-the-spot checks.
