Mapping Yield Variation for Precision Agriculture • Remote sensing imagery has been commonly used for estimating crop yield variation • Vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI) • With hyperspectral imagery, the number of VIs is large • Spectral unmixing can be used to derive abundance images
Plant Soil Mixture Spectral Mixing • A pixel can be considered as a mixture of plants and soil. • Spectral unmixing can quantify crop canopy fraction within each pixel. • A crop fraction image is a more direct measure of plant abundance than NDVI • Plant abundance is indicative of crop yield.
