Outline

1	Remote Sensing: On-Farm Applications Tim Stombaugh Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering
2	What is Remote Sensing? Images from satellites or airplanes?
3	Any remotely sensed data
4	Outline General RS principles Aerial imagery Ground–based sensing
5	How do we see color?
6	Plant Reflectance
7	Visible or Near-Infrared
8	Remote Sensing Glasses
9	Aerial Imagery Whole-field perspective All data simultaneously collected Often not timely Not conducive to real-time control
10	Using aerial imagery?
11	Using RS Imagery
12	Visible and NIR
13	Satellite Imagery: DOQQ
14	Satellite Imagery: Color 1m
15	gis.ky.gov
16	Satellite Imagery: IKONOS
17	Satellite Imagery
18	How to get your boss to buy your toys
19	Near Infrared Photography
20	UAV Camera Development
21	Ground-based Sensors Real-time control possible Expensive
22	GreenSeeker
23	GreenSeeker Measures NIR and Red (NDVI) Variable rate N in wheat Reduced N with increased yield Yield predictor in forages
24	YARA (HYDRO) Fieldscan
25	HYDRO Results
26	RS also used for Soil sensing Grain quality sensing Moisture variation Yield (variation)
27	RS Challenges Usually difficult to identify a specific pest or problem in a crop Calibrations not widely applicable
28	Summary Aerial and Ground-based sensing technology Value in visible-light field images Other imagery available (with help from experts) Real-time sensors becoming reality!
