Definition

Remote sensing (RS) – remote sensing refers to the use of sensors to detect the radiation and reflection characteristics of the electromagnetic waves of objects.

Airborne remote sensing system – downward- or sideward-looking sensors are mounted on an aircraft to obtain images of the Earth’s surface.

Spatial statistics – spatial statistics are metrics based on statistical tools used to characterize the distribution of events across space.

Geographic information systems (GIS) – GIS technology represents a variety of spatial and dynamic geographic information supported by geospatial methods, and/or geographic model analysis methods.

Spatial resolution – spatial resolution refers to the size of the smallest unit that can be distinguished in detail in remote sensing images and is an index used to characterize the details of ground targets in images.

Variable Rate Technology (VRT) – Variable Rate Technology describes any technique that enables producers to change the rate of crop...
