Comparing high density LIDAR and medium resolution GPS generated elevation data for predicting yield stability
نویسنده
چکیده
High density light detection and ranging (LIDAR) imaging has been shown to be able to define yield stability areas of a field for multi-cropping. Since LIDAR imaging is expensive and not widely available, it was hypothesized thatmedium resolution GPS elevation datawhich is commonly collectedwith variable rate technology (VRT) controllers andcropyieldmonitors couldbeused in lieuof LIDAR imaging. If proven, growers would be able to construct yield stability maps of their fields without the expense of obtaining LIDAR imaging. After substituting medium resolution GPS elevation data derived from the crop yield lobal positioning system ight detection and ranging recision agriculture

متن کاملThe Effect of LiDAR Data Density on DEM Accuracy
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) play an important role in terrain related applications, and their accuracy is crucial for DEM applications. There are many factors that affect the accuracy of DEMs, with the main factors including the accuracy, density and distribution of the source data, the interpolation algorithm, and the DEM resolution. Generally speaking, the more accurate and the denser the...
متن کاملRiver bathymetry from conventional LiDAR using water surface returns
LiDAR–based DEMs are almost essential when it comes to high resolution floodplain modelling. Conventional LiDAR does not penetrate water bodies and additional bathymetric measurements are necessary to complete any parts of a DEM which were under water at the time of the LiDAR sortie. Bathymetric data collection is time-consuming, expensive and it requires careful processing to correctly interpo...
