Hello, I am researching machine learning algorithms to segment and delineate rice paddies from satellite images. I am interested in the Philippines, especially the Pangasinan region. I read on the PRiSM website that ground data has been used to delineate rice areas. If this data has polygons delineating rice paddies areas, it would be very beneficial for me to access it. Thank you very much
