DroneCamp 2020: Sensing Crop Water Stress with Thermal Imagery

Plant water budgets and efficiency are fundamental questions in a wide range of management applications and research. Water is fairly detectable in thermal imagery, but there are a lot of physical and physiological factors that need to be taken into account. This session will review the theory and practice of sensing water stress using drone thermal imagery, including strategies for stitching thermal data, key aspects from plant physiology, and algorithms for transforming thermal data into metrics of water stress.

Presentation given by Mallika Nocco and Logan Ebert on 6/25 during DroneCamp 2020.
