Week 1 Additional Resources

This page is a collection of image locations and tutorials about remote sensing. There are many other sites related to this topic, some of which we will examine later. Remember that you will likely be unable to spare the time to completely review them all. [ Back to Week One ]

Remote Sensing Tutorials

• The 'America's Farm' link to Remote Sensing. http://www.americasfarm.org/frameset.html Then go to the 'Menu / Learn' 'Background' 'Remote Sensing and Agriculture'.
• Introduction to Remote Sensing from Virtually Hawaii http://satftp.soest.hawaii.edu/space/hawaii/vfts/oahu/rem_sens_ex/rsex.spectral.1.html
• The 'Remote Sensing Tutorial Table of Contents - Overview of Remote Sensing' is a definitive look at this topic. An outstanding (and highly detailed!) 'web textbook' for remote sensing: http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov
• A tutorial from Canada: http://www.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/ccrs/eduref/tutorial/tutore.html

Precision Farming Examples

A Look at an ARDC Corn Plot With Images and Data Shown under the following link is an example of a half circle area under center pivot irrigation at the ARDC. The corn is being grown under controlled conditions and varying amounts of fertilizer. Each image examines a different feature of the field; soil type, topography, fertilizer application etc. A Corn Half Circle Growing with Varying Amounts of Fertilizer
