Research

Initiative for Future Agriculture and Food Systems (IFAFS) Project
  • Determine whether vegetation and topographic indices computed from Remote Sensing data and terrain models can improve prediction of crop N status, and whether these indices can be used to predict the crop yield or crop quality response to late season N application.
  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for low-altitude remote sensing of soil and crop conditions within farm fields.
  • Develop 3D visualization tools for use with the Internet and add value to individual information layers from terrain models, remote sensing, and yield maps.
  • Enhance existing teaching and outreach programs with use of the 3-D visualization and analysis techniques.
  • NDVI Classified image5 (ADC camera, August 27th, 2003)
