Remote sensing of agriculture

Remote sensing encompasses various tools from satellites to drones and tractors mounted spectrometers that study the interaction of lights with objects, such as the canopy of a field, and provide objective information on this object. Using appropriate mathematical tools, this information can be used to estimate properties, such as e.g. the above ground biomass of a field, the protein concentration of a plant, or classify objects, such as e.g. grass and clover in a drone image.

The aims of this group are (1) to facilitate collaborations between academics, (2) to promote Nordic agriculture and (3) to develop remote-sensing-based tools for farmers and advisors.
