INVERSE MODELING FOR CHARACTERISTIC PREDICTION FROM MULTI-SPECTRAL AND HYPER-SPECTRAL REMOTE SENSED DATASETS

摘要

Provided are methods and related devices for predicting the presence or level of one or more characteristics of a plant or plant population based on spectral, multi-spectral, or hyper-spectral data obtained by, e.g., remote sensing. The predictions and estimates furnished by the inventive methods and devices are useful in crop management, crop strategy, and optimization of agricultural production.
