Remote Sensing Technology in Modern Agriculture

Remote sensing technology encompasses the systems that use digital cameras and remote control systems for obtaining photographs and images from hard-to-access places. It has multiple applications in agriculture, such as obtaining information about crops, soil, and surrounding environment. This technology enables the collection of high-resolution information from agricultural land and assists the farmers and crop scientists in making various decisions. Different types of image capturing devices used in remote imaging include drones, satellites, in-field devices and digital cameras integrated in wireless sensor networks on the ground. Remote sensing is able to generate different types of spectral information such as multispectral images, standard RGB images, and hyperspectral images. Some major applications of remote sensing technology include plant monitoring, automatic harvesting, mapping and detection of plants, water management, and yield estimation. This book outlines the use of remote sensing technology in modern agriculture in detail. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book aims to equip students and experts with the latest concepts in this area.
