Multi- and hyper-spectral sensors can be installed on the imaging aircraft. In precision agriculture, images taken by these sensors enable the comprehensive monitoring of agricultural lands. The crops can be monitored for the following parameters:
- Nutrients;
- Water-stress;
- Disease;
- Insect attack;
- Overall plant health.
- Trees Inventory Support: Row based
- Inventory Support: Individual based
- Young Plantations: Survival analysis (area based)
- Young Plantations: Density mapping
- Young Plantations: Woody competition mapping
- Young Plantations: Tree height modeling
- Young Plantations: Weed mapping
- Young Natural Forests: Regeneration analysis
- GIS services: Stand border update
- Mapping & Monitoring: Wood resource mapping.
- In addition, multi- and hyper-spectral imagery also allows for the analysis and mapping of soil characteristics. Precision Agriculture is made possible with soil property maps. With the use of hyper-spectral sensors, researchers are able to determine soil properties such as organic matter, moisture, and soil salinity, even for soils lying under vegetation.
Our clients in the forestry industry particularly benefit from our advanced analysis toolbox, which produces the following layers:
Advantages of using multi- and hyper-spectral imagery are:
- Lower costs (compared with traditional scouting methods);
- Consistent results
- Ease of use;
- Rapid assessment; and
- A non-invasive, highly accurate operation, with a broad range of applications.
