Percepción remota y procesamiento de imágenes para la gestión de cultivos de caña de azúcar

Abstract

This research work shows that with the use of remote sensing technology it is possible to more effectively fulfill two of the purposes pursued by farmers in the field; manage crops more efficiently and include environmental care in decision-making. Specifically, remote sensing is applied in the context of precision agriculture through geographic information systems (GIS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), multispectral sensors that capture the reflectance of the infrared band of the light spectrum (for interpretation of the biochemical state of the crop), global geopositioning systems (GPS), among others. This study limits the use of this technology to the processing of multispectral images obtained by aerial photogrammetry, and its subsequent treatment for the generation of orthoimages, the calculation of the NDVI vegetation index and the classification of land cover by clustering. Finally, the effect of classification with RGB and multispectral images is analyzed.
