EARTH REMOTE SENSING IN AGRICULTURAL INSTRUMENTATION

Computer Engineering electronics Engineering Civil Engineering

This seminar describes the earth remote sensing techniques used in agriculture. Spaceborne remote-sensing instruments are used for applications ranging from global climate monitoring to combat-theater weather tracking to agricultural and forestry assessment. Aerospace has pioneered numerous remote-sensing technologies and continues to advance the field.Aerospace work in remote sensing supports not only the Department of Defense (DOD), but NASA, NOAA, and other governmental agencies as well. In the coming years, as these organizations seek to coordinate their remote-sensing efforts, Aerospace research and analysis will play an important role in determining what type of systems are developed and deployed.Remote sensing has shown potential for use in agricultural management for a number of years; however, the availability of fine spatial resolution, near real-time data has limited its application. New companies that provide aircraft-based imagery to meet the resolution and temporal requirements for agricultural management are now emerging. The promise of commercially available, high-resolution satellite imagery will also provide additional sources of remotely sensed data . Several applications have been developed to use remotely sensed data to infer both plant and soil characteristics. The development approaches appear to be emerging in the application of remote sensing and site-specific agriculture. Advances in precision farming technology provide the tools needed to apply information from multispectral images to management problems. There is still considerable work to be done before the full benefits of remotely sensed data can be realized, but there are applications that can benefit from this data at the present time. And it is ensured that sensing systems keep pace with the customers loading..
