Aerial photo interpretation and satellite image analysis in agricultural sciences

摘要

Remote sensing has proven to be an important tool for applications in agriculture, forestry and water management. Due to the requirements for higher spatial resolution, aerial photos were the most widely used type of imagery for this purpose in the past. The situation is changing now. Satellite images are being used to an increasing extent as a consequence of advances in sensor technology (improved spatial resolu-tion) as well as new developments in the fields of image processing and computer vision.
