Agriculture Remote Sensing Webinar: Crop Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical Remote Sensing

April 4, 2023 - April 11, 2023

Monitoring crop growth is important for assessing food production, enabling optimal use of the landscape, and contributing to agricultural policy. Remote sensing methods based on optical and/or radar sensors have become an important means of extracting information related to crops. Optical data is related to the chemical properties of the vegetation, while radar data is …
