About the Book

Agricultural remote sensing has an enormous potential impact on agribusiness and the international commodity trade through the development of systems to monitor crops and yields on the national and international scale. This volume reviews the achievements of remote sensing in agriculture, establishes the current state-of-the-art and looks at future developments. The following themes are addressed - opportunities for remote sensing, principles of remote sensing as applied to agriculture, including logistic considerations and fundamental spectral characteristics of vegetation, the estimation of biomass and productivity, effects of stress and its detection, discrimination and monitoring and new techniques in applying remote sensing.

Table of Contents:
Sensors, platforms and applications - acquiring and managing remotely sensed data; optical properties of crop canopies and factors affecting their variability; the thermal signal and its applications in agriculture; discrimination and monitoring of soils and their effects on crops; estimation of rainfall using geostationary satellite data; application of remote sensing and geographic information systems in water management; classification of remotely sensed images for agricultural purposes; estimating production of winter wheat; crop inventory studies using LANDSAT data on a large area in Hungary; estimation of area of land irrigated by underground water; high temporal frequency remote sensing of primary production using NOAA AVHRR; estimating grassland biomass using remotely sensed data; remote sensing to predict UK sugar-beet yield; high spectral resolution indices for crop stress; the identification of crop disease and stress by aerial photography; analysis of inverse methods for estimation of plant water status from canopy temperature measurements; a simplified algorithm for the evaluation of frost-affected citrics; application of chlorophyll fluorescence in stress physiology and remote sensing; applications of radar in agriculture; microwave radiometer for monitoring agricultural crops; on the uses of combined optical and active-microwave image data for agricultural applications; remote sensing in agriculture - from research to applications; agricultural remote sensing - progress and prospects.
