Satellite Imagery Precision Agriculture

Abstract and figures over the last years the attention of satellites images providers on precision agriculture has increased leading to an enhancement of features resolution.

Satellite imagery precision agriculture.

Agriculture is a rapidly growing market x2 5 in the next ten years and becomes more and more mature in its use of geo information driven by the contradictive requirements to produce more manage inputs and safeguard the environment. In agriculture earth observation imagery and data analytics have already revolutionised food production and supply chain management with the development of precision farming. Earth observation has a key role to play in this growth now that data access is being solved both from a satellite and from a platform cloud digitalization. Agriculture mapping satellite imaging corp satellite images at different spatial spectral and temporal resolutions for agriculture mapping and crop assessment crop health change detection.

Original satellite sensors such as landsat and spot have commonly been used for agricultural applications over large geographic areas since the 1970s but they have limited use for precision agriculture because of their relatively coarse spatial resolution and long revisit time. The first wave of the precision agricultural revolution came in the forms of satellite and aerial imagery weather prediction variable rate fertilizer application and crop health indicators.
