[TA14-2] Descriptive analytics products

Descriptive analytics products provide analytical results which describe the present (and past) situation as it is recorded in EO images. Therefore, it contains information that can directly be extracted from EO images or EO image time series. These products are diverse in various aspects: they capture static and dynamic information; they concern information about objects or fields; and they have qualitative (nominal scale) or quantitative (ordinal, interval, ratio scale) levels of measurement.
