Field Data Collection Methods Strongly Affect Satellite-Based Crop Yield Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crop yield estimation from satellite data requires field observations to fit and evaluate predictive models. However, it is not clear how much collection methods matter for performance. To this, we used maize estimates obtained with seven (two farmer estimates, two point transects, three crop cut methods) the “true yield” measured a full-field harvest 196 fields in districts Ethiopia 2019. We combination of nine vegetation indices five temporal aggregation growing season Sentinel-2 SR as predictors linear regression Random Forest Crop-cut-based models had highest model accuracy, similar that full-field-harvest-based When were training data, prediction gain was negligible, indicating very little advantage using remote sensing predict when quality low. Our results suggest estimate should be cuts or comparable high-quality measurements, which give better than low-quality sets, even larger numbers such are available.

Comparison of field- and satellite-based vegetation cover estimation methods
Background: Monitoring terrestrial vegetation cover condition is important to evaluate its current condition and to identify potential vulnerabilities. Due to simplicity and low cost, point intercept method has been widely used in evaluating grassland surface and quantifying cover conditions. Field-based digital photography method is gaining popularity for the purpose of cover estimate, as it c...
متن کاملComparison of missing value imputation methods for crop yield data
Most ecological data sets contain missing values, a fact which can cause problems in the analysis and limit the utility of resulting inference. However, ecological data also tend to be spatially correlated, which can aid in estimating and imputing missing values. We compared four existing methods of estimating missing values: regression, kernel smoothing, universal kriging, and multiple imputat...
متن کاملAutomated Crop Yield Estimation for Apple Orchards
Crop yield estimation is an important task in apple orchard management. The current manual sampling-based yield estimation is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inaccurate. To deal with this challenge, we developed a computer vision-based system for automated, rapid and accurate yield estimation. The system uses a two-camera stereo rig for image acquisition. It works at nighttime with controll...
متن کاملThe Estimation of Regional Crop Yield Using Ensemble-Based Four-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation
To improve crop model performance for regional crop yield estimates, a new four-dimensional variational algorithm (POD4DVar) merging the Monte Carlo and proper orthogonal decomposition techniques was introduced to develop a data assimilation strategy using the Crop Environment Resource Synthesis (CERES)-Wheat model. Two winter wheat yield estimation procedures were conducted on a field plot and...
