CONSIDERATION AND COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT REMOTE SENSING.pptVIP

AN RPC EVALUATION OF NASA REMOTE SENSING INPUTS AND MODEL DERIVED DATAFOR REGIONAL CROP YIELD PREDICTION MODELING Charles O’ Hara Preeti Mali Bijay Srestha Geo Resources Institute Mississippi State University May 17, 2006 RPC Evaluation of Soybean Yield Modeling Regional Level Prediction Integration of Remote Sensing Advantages, Disadvantages and Tradeoffs Best Possible Solution Crop (Soybean) Yield Prediction Crop models have been used for predicting crop yield before harvest. These pre-harvest crop yield estimations also help in regional and global crop prices and trade policies. RPC: INTEGRATING BASELINE FUTURE SENSORS DATA FOR CROP YIELD PREDICTION CROP MODEL SUITABILITY FOR REGIONAL YIELD PREDICTION The agro-meteorological based crop yield prediction method provides a good scope in regional yield predictions using remote sensing. The variables in these methods are mostly obtained from meteorological stations, derived from remote sensing data sources, or computed by models; thus, they provide global or regional coverage and enhanced regional model applicability. STUDY AREA: ARGENTINA STUDY AREA DETAILS: ARGENTINA CROP TYPES IN PROJECT FIELD DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY Example of ground truth equipment and digital sampling forms created for this study DATA PRE-PROCESSING FLOW Creation of daily NDVI datasets to be used for the hypertemporal composite STEPS FOR GENERATION OF A MODIS-BASED NDVI CORN AND SOYBEAN HYPERTEMPORAL NDVI CURVES HYPERTEMPORAL NDVI PLOTS FOR 4 MAIN CROPS CONCLUSIONS FUTURE WORK SINCLAIR MODEL SINCLAIR MODEL Semi-mechanistic model Named after Thomas Sinclair (University of Florida) Used by USDA/FAS PECAD for regional soybean estimations Basic model inputs are based on the following relationships (Speath Sinclair, 1987): Leaf emergence as a function of temperature Leaf area index as a function of leaf number and plant population Interception of solar radiation as a function of leaf area Biomass accumula
