Remote Sensing in Precision Agriculture

Remote Sensing in Precision Agriculture compiles the latest applications of remote sensing in agriculture using spaceborne, airborne and drones’ geospatial data. Agriculture is a major sector in the global economy, and over the past few decades, Remote Sensing and GIS have been increasingly, and importantly, implicated in the monitoring, management and mapping of agricultural fields at local, regional and even global scales. The proposed book will comprise recent case studies, new algorithms and the latest methods about crop sown area estimation, determining the crop health status, assessment of vegetation dynamics, crop diseases identification, crop yield estimation, soil properties, drone image analysis for crop damage assessment and other issues in relation to precision agriculture. Presented in 6 sections; 1- Introduction and Principles of Precision Agriculture, 2-PA Practices for soil management, 3-PA practices for irrigation water management, 4-PA practices for crop management 5-Advanced modelling practices in PA, 6- Data, pipelines, AI, and decision support systems. and 7-Future Aspects and Challenges in RS for PA, Remote Sensing in Precision Agriculture is ideal for those seeking to explore and implement remote sensing in an effective and efficient manner. This book provides a compendium of basic and applied information to readers searching for accessible yet scientifically and technologically sound information from top scientists & experts in the field of remote sensing in agriculture. Presents a well-integrated collection of chapters, with quality, consistency and continuity Provides the latest RS techniques applied in Precision Agriculture, addressed by leading experts Includes detailed yet geographically global case studies that can be easily understood, reproduced or implemented Geospatial data and codes available through shared links
