Remote Sensing

Abstract

Remote sensing is obtaining information about an object without physical contact, typically carried out with sensors onboard satellites, aircraft, or land-based platforms. Today, several technologies can be integrated into these carriers to map and monitor different plant biophysical traits with high spatial and temporal resolution. New sensors and information and communication technologies provide opportunities to refine agronomic management and advance agricultural research. Understanding the nature and limitations of the available technologies is essential for their correct use in applications such as precision agriculture. These techniques rely on identifying relationships between the se..
