Crop Lodging Analysis from Uas Orthophoto Mosaic, Sentinel-2 Image and Crop Yield Monitor Data

Abstract

Crop lodging is surveyed from different image sources and from the crop yield map. Crop lodging has effect on remotely sensed and field level measurements when indirectly measuring, for example, soil variation, nutrients, or crop condition. The interpretation of results may be incorrect especially in the case when it is not possible to detect lodging from the analyzed dataset. Such situation may arise, for example, when analyzing Sentinel-2 (S2) images or crop yield monitor data. In this study crop lodging is inspected from UAS-based or-thophoto mosaic taken 50 meters above the ground level, S2 image and crop yield monitor connected to a combine harvester.
