Abstract
To evaluate the potential of high resolution satellites such as EarlyBird and QuickBird for use in precision agriculture, a number of datasets were collected over study sites in Manitoba during 1996. These data included casi airborne multispectral data and aerial photographs during crop emergence, as well as casi data during crop vegetative growth. At the time of image acquisition, ground data were collected in selected fields to characterize weed growth and crop biomass. Preliminary analysis of the 1996 data suggests that the use of high spatial multispectral data for weed and crop vigor detection is promising.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
