Research Project: Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Satellite Remote Sensing Data to Evaluate Forage Yield and Quality

Location: Dairy Forage Research

Project Number: 5090-21500-002-018-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: May 20, 2022
End Date: May 19, 2023

Objective:
Develop and test quantitative models for predicting alfalfa yield and nutritive value using hyperspectral (UAV) data.

Approach:
The models will be developed using multitask deep learning for evaluating the relationships between hyperspectral (UAV) imagery and field nutritive and yield measurements.
