Crop Yield Estimation using Remote Sensing and GIS ArcGIS

Crop yield estimation is a critical aspect of modern agriculture. In this course, the wheat crop is covered. The same method applies to all other crops. With the advent of remote sensing and GIS technologies, it has become possible to estimate crop yields using various methodologies. Remote sensing is a powerful tool that can be used to identify and classify different crops, assess crop conditions, and estimate crop yields. One of the most popular methods for crop identification using remote sensing is to relate crop NDVI as a function of yield. This method uses various spectral, textural and structural characteristics of crops to classify them using the machine learning method in ArcGIS. Another popular method for crop condition assessment using remote sensing is crop classification then relate to NDVI index. This method uses indices such as NDVI to assess the health of the crop. Both of these methods are widely used for crop identification and assessment. Crop yield estimation can also be done by using remote sensing data. Yield estimation using remote sensing is done by using statistical methods, such as regression analysis and modelling in GIS and excel, including classification and estimation. One popular method for estimating wheat yield is the crop yield estimation model using classified and modelled data with observed records, as shown in this course. This model uses various remote sensing data to estimate the wheat yield. It is also important to validate the developed model on another nearby study area. That validation of the developed model is also covered in this course. The identification of crops is an important step in estimating crop yields and managing agricultural resources. In summary, remote sensing and GIS technologies are widely used for crop identification, crop condition assessment, and crop yield estimation. They provide accurate and timely information that is critical for managing agricultural resources and increasing crop yields.
