Introducing AIGODS
SMARTER VINEYARD MONITORING FOR THE DOURO DEMARCATED REGION

AIGODS is a dual-purpose project that combines artificial intelligence and remote sensing to support automated vineyard identification and early yield estimation in the Douro Demarcated Region. Designed with institutional relevance in mind, it contributes to cadastral support, territorial supervision, and decision-making for the IVDP.

THE PROJECT'S STUDY AREA

Douro Demarcated Region

3 sub-regions (169 parishes)

~250,000 ha

104,000+ parcels

WHAT AIGODS DOES

VINEYARD IDENTIFICATION

AI-based detection and delineation of vineyard areas from very-high-resolution imagery, supporting cadastral comparison and territorial supervision.

EARLY YIELD ESTIMATION

Forecasting workflows for parish, sub-regional and regional analysis using remote sensing and climate data.

DECISION SUPPORT FOR IVDP

Technically usable and reproducible outputs designed to support institutional interpretation and future uptake.

FEATURED OUTPUTS

1

Systematic Literature Review

automatic vineyard area identification.

2

Yield Estimation Poster

based on an open-climate and
satellite data LSTM workflow..

3

Beta Mapping Workflow
