Researchers used an SVC HR-1024i to develop a winter wheat photosynthesis model and applied it to UAV imagery collected in a later growing season. Hyperspectral crop monitoring was the focus of a winter wheat study that connected measurements of individual leaves with aerial images of experimental fields. Using leaf reflectance collected with an SVC HR-1024i…
Ground truth spectroscopy provides a critical link between the spectral information collected by remote sensing platforms and the physical characteristics of the landscapes those measurements represent. As hyperspectral satellites deliver increasingly detailed observations across larger areas, establishing that connection becomes even more important. A recent feasibility study in Australian eucalypt forests and grasslands offers a…
Remote sensing has entered an era where sensor performance is advancing faster than many of the physical models used to interpret the resulting data. Modern hyperspectral systems are capable of resolving increasingly subtle spectral and directional differences, but extracting meaningful information from those observations still depends on accurately modeling how light interacts with complex natural…
Wine grapes may share a species name, but anyone who works in viticulture knows that not all vines respond to environmental conditions in the same way. Some cultivars maintain productivity under water stress. Others prioritize rapid growth and resource acquisition. Understanding these differences is becoming increasingly important as growers face changing weather patterns, shifting growing…
This case study examines how water stress in citrus can be identified earlier using sensing technologies that capture changes before they are visible to the eye. Managing water stress in citrus production depends heavily on timing, yet traditional observation methods tend to capture stress only after it has already begun to affect plant performance. In…
Monitoring land cover change is essential for regional planning, environmental protection, and agricultural management. As development pressures increase worldwide, remote sensing continues to offer a scalable and cost-effective way to assess how landscapes evolve over time. A recent peer-reviewed study, Application of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in Classifying Land Cover Change over Bangli Regency by…
