CCS estimation using drones and hyperspectral imaging
Manage episode 510328592 series 3681909
In this episode we sit down with remote sensing specialist Johan Deutschen Bauer, discussing an exciting new research project investigating the use of drones - equipped with hyperspectral technology - to predict sugar content (or CCS) in sugarcane, in real-time, in the field.
As you will discover, the project is hoped to enhance the efficiency of SRA's Variety Breeding Program by replacing labour-intensive CCS estimation methods. It's also hoped to one day (in the not-too-distant future) provide growers with access to real-time CCS estimations, to assist with scheduling harvests at peak sucrose levels.
