Abstract
Abstract. Remote sensing applications are directed to agricultural observation and monitoring. It has been huge of scientific papers are dedicated to the research of the contribution of remote sensing for agriculture studies. There are several global challenges needed to be considered within agriculture activities. It can be embraced by the main agriculture sector facing the obstacles impacting the production and productivity of the sector. These are the following options that can be pointed out: biomass and yield estimation; vegetation vigor and drought stress monitoring; assessment of crop phenological development; crop acreage estimation and cropland mapping; and mapping of disturbances and Land Use/Land Cover changes. In this study has been undertaken the realization of satellite-based Land Use/Land Cover monitoring based on various optical satellite data. It has been used satellite images taken from satellites AZERSKY, RapidEye, Sentinel-2B and further processed for Land Use/Land Cover classification. Following the complex approach of the supervised and unsupervised classification, the methodology has been used for satellite image processing. As the main satellite imagery for monitoring crop condition were AZERSKY taken during the growing season, from May to June of 2019 year. The study area was some part of the Sheki region, which covers the central part of the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range within Azerbaijan Republic. In this research work satellite imagery processing and mapping has been carried out on the basis of software application of ArcGIS Pro 2.5.
Highlights
The development of methods for operational satellite monitoring of crops began almost immediately after data from satellite imagery of the Earth's surface became available
There is no doubt that the remote sensing method is widely used in agriculture
The basic software for Image Processing which has been used in this research was ArcGIS Pro 2.5 from ESRI
Summary
The development of methods for operational satellite monitoring of crops began almost immediately after data from satellite imagery of the Earth's surface became available. Already in 1972, the USA carried out the LACIE project, within the framework of which the state of crops in the former Soviet Union was monitored and the yield forecast based on satellite imagery data was compiled for the first time (Erickson, 1984). There is no doubt that the remote sensing method is widely used in agriculture. The use of remote sensing is the best instrument for monitoring of agricultural activities during all stages of production. It relates to the seasonal patterns related to the biological lifecycle of crops.
