Sensing Agriculture from Space


Book Description

This book, "SENSING AGRICULTURE FROM SPACE" is all about the application of "Geospatial Technology" by key players in the Agriculture value chain. This book is exclusively for professionals such as students, consultants, start-ups, business development professionals and analysts from the agriculture sector. This book can prove to be handy for the agriculture community involved in developing the agribusiness, improving farm productivity, improving soil and water resources, and ultimately benefiting the farmers. There are numerous professionals who feel powerless while trying to expand their geospatial agriculture business or amplify their capability in solving problems of key stakeholders in the Agriculture value chain. If you are one of them, then then this book can be a result-oriented blueprint for you. The book walks you through geospatial solutions for the sectors of Agriculture input, agriculture commodity trading, crop insurance, agriculture investors, non- governmental organizations, research and development institutions, and government departments. Geospatial technology is widely used across the world. However, despite the wide usage of GIS / RS / GPS / AI / ML in agriculture applications as a technology, the potential of geospatial technology has not been exploited for decision support by planners, stakeholders, decision-makers and other users in the agriculture sector. This book will help you in understanding: Different sectors in the agriculture value chain where geospatial technology can provide workable solutions to the problems Various agriculture sector-specific concepts for designing projects Technological approach to address issues of stakeholders in the agriculture value chain Get business ideas for geospatial technology applications in agriculture If you are professional who want to expand their geospatial agricultur business, then SCROLL UP and click on BUY NOW button on top of the page.




Land Surface Remote Sensing in Agriculture and Forest


Book Description

The environmental and economic importance of monitoring forests and agricultural resources has allowed remote sensing to be increasingly in the development of products and services responding to user needs.This volume presents the main applications in remote sensing for agriculture and forestry, including the primary soil properties, the estimation of the vegetation’s biophysical variables, methods for mapping land cover, the contribution of remote sensing for crop and water monitoring, and the estimation of the forest cover properties (cover dynamic, height, biomass).This book, part of a set of six volumes, has been produced by scientists who are internationally renowned in their fields. It is addressed to students (engineers, Masters, PhD), engineers and scientists, specialists in remote sensing applied to agriculture and forestry.Through this pedagogical work, the authors contribute to breaking down the barriers that hinder the use of radar imaging techniques. Provides clear and concise descriptions of modern remote sensing methods Explores the most current remote sensing techniques with physical aspects of the measurement (theory) and their applications Provides chapters on physical principles, measurement, and data processing for each technique described Describes optical remote sensing technology, including a description of acquisition systems and measurement corrections to be made

Applications of Remote Sensing in Agriculture


Book Description

Applications of Remote Sensing in Agriculture contains the proceedings of the 48th Easter School in Agricultural Science, held at the University of Nottingham on April 3-7, 1989. The meeting invites 146 delegates from over 22 countries and contributions to this book come from nine countries. This book generally presents a review of the achievements of remote sensing in agriculture, establishes the state of the art, and gives pointers to developments. This text is organized into seven parts, wherein Parts I-III cover the principles of remote sensing, climate, soil, land classification, and crop inventories. Productivity; stress; techniques for agricultural applications; and opportunities, progress, and prospects in the field of remote sensing in agriculture are also discussed.
