In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Use of the FieldSpec® 4 Hi-Res as a tool to verify the accuracy of UAV and satellite imagery and for ground truthing purposes
  • Use of the FieldSpec 4 Hi-Res for spectral unmixing and classification of land cover types in multispectral satellite imagery
  • An example case study of near-infrared (NIR) technology and spectral signatures of strawberry plants to detect and monitor the infestation of Two-Spotted Spider Mite (TSSM)
