Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on utilizing advanced optomechanical and imaging technologies for precision agriculture in emerging economies, emphasizing the need for accurate detection of plant and soil at the canopy level for better crop management.
  • High-resolution remote sensors, particularly drones equipped with hyperspectral imagers, are employed to gather data for distinguishing crop from soil in agricultural fields, an area that hasn't been thoroughly explored yet.
  • The research demonstrates exceptional discrimination accuracy (99-100%) between crops and soils, highlighting the importance of endmember selection, flying height, and spectral unmixing techniques, and it provides valuable datasets for future agricultural studies.

Maintaining rich biodiversity and being a habitat and resource for humans, tropical forests are one of the most important global biomes. These forest ecosystems have been experiencing a host of unregulated anthropogenic activities including illegal tourism, and shifting cultivation. The presence of human-habitats in the restricted zones of forest ecosystems is a direct indicator of the human activities that may accelerate deterioration of forest quality by area and tree species composition.

Recent developments in the miniaturization of hyperspectral imaging sensors have given rise to the increased use of hyperspectral imagery as the primary data for evaluating spectral unmixing algorithms in applications such as industrial quality control, agriculture, mineral mapping, military, etc. This article presents an ultra-high-resolution hyperspectral imagery dataset for undertaking benchmark studies on spectral unmixing. A terrestrial hyperspectral imager (THI) is used for imaging the target scene with the camera sensor pointing horizontally towards the target scene.

Target detection in remote sensing has vital applications in mineral mapping, law enforcement, precision agriculture, strategic surveillance, etc. We present the acquisition of a first-of-its-kind high-resolution multi-platform (ground, airborne, and space-borne) remote sensing-based benchmark dataset for target detection studies. The dataset includes imagery acquired from terrestrial hyperspectral imager (THI), airborne hyperspectral sensor (AVIRIS-NG), and space-borne multi-spectral (Sentinel-2) sensor on 20th March 2018.
