Multispectral Imaging Camera Sensing to Evaluate Vegetation Index from UAV

Abstract

Agriculture in India is always on top priority. With an increase in population and rise of it in coming generations, it is a challenge to meet the demand of indefinite food supply. The study describes the use of multispectral imaging sensors to help farmers getting the real and live data about their agriculture fields. Farmers are the backbone of/for any country in the world and they generate a good amount of GDP for their country. Agriculture lands and farmers must be well-taken care off by all the recent advancement in the technology. The study area includes a patch of 3.5 acres of agriculture land in the Centurion University of Paralakhemundi Campus, Odisha. The land is cultivated with maize and sunflower, a few parts of the land has left blank or recently cultivated. The objective of the study is to insight the uses of GIS technology to the local authorities as well as farmers. The process used in Image processing for vegetation indices. The result indicates that some patches of crops are healthier but most of them lack either nutrient or affected due to bad field management.
