Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RATING VEGETATION HEALTH AND BIOMASS FROM REMOTELY SENSED MORPHOLOGICAL AND RADIOMETRIC DATA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/214793
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The inventive system and method presented herein combines and integrates information to provide a more effective single rating of vegetation health and biomass. As a result the present invention provides for an objective biomass rating which produces a single numerical measure of vegetation biomass and health that can be used for quantitative comparative assessment of vegetation in research trials and in plant production. The inventive system and method further provides for remote-sensing of vegetation health and biomass based on combined assessments of morphological data (extracted from sources such as high-resolution elevation raster-maps or point-clouds produced by photogrammetric or LiDAR sensors) and radiometric data (such as spectral reflectance maps generated from multi- or hyper-spectral imaging systems).
