Abstract:
... The water cloud model (WCM) can be inverted to estimate leaf area index (LAI) using the intensity of backscatter from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors. Published studies have demonstrated that the WCM can accurately estimate LAI if the model is effectively calibrated. However, calibration of this model requires access to field measures of LAI as well as soil moisture. In contrast, machine le ...

Abstract:
... Weeds are notorious yield reducers that are, in many situations, economically more harmful than insects, fungi or other crop pests. Assessment of crop yield and economic losses due to weeds in agriculture is an important aspect of study which helps in devising appropriate management strategies against weeds. A study was conducted to estimate the yield and economic losses due to weeds using the dat ...
