Phyto-Mapping Masterclass (Remote Sensing for Advanced Crop Monitoring)
Programme Overview
Designed specifically for agricultural scientists, agronomists, and precision farming practitioners, the Phyto-Mapping Masterclass bridges drone imaging and deep agronomic science. Learn to capture and calibrate multispectral and hyperspectral sensor data, compute vegetation indices to detect invisible crop stress weeks before the human eye can, calculate canopy cover, model water stress, and generate precision zone maps.
