Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment (LACIE). Feasibility of assessing crop condition and yield from LANDSAT data

The author has identified the following significant results. Yield modelling for crop production estimation derived a means of predicting the within-a-year yield and the year-to-year variability of yield over some fixed or randomly located unit of area. Preliminary studies indicated that the requirements for interpreting LANDSAT data for yield may be sufficiently similar to those of signature extension that it is feasible to investigate the automated estimation of production. The concept of an advanced yield model consisting of both spectral and meteorological components was endorsed. Rationale for using meteorological parameters originated from known between season and near harvest dynamics in crop environmental-condition-yield relationships.

Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment (LACIE). Effect of sun angle and haze on generation of LANDSAT imagery

The author has identified the following significant results. When heavy haze was present over a nonvegetated scene, the mean radiance values for all MSS channels were lowered, with the greatest decrease occurring in channels 1 and 2. Over a vegetated scene, any apparent decrease in mean radiance values due to haze may be marked by an increase in mean radiance values which occurred as vegetation increased in vigor during its growth cycle. Mean radiance values for nonvegetated targets (except water) were closely correlated to the changes in sun elevation angle throughout the year. A sun angle correction to a fixed reference data appeared to offer the possibility of compensating for haze covered areas by predicting the mean radiance values which would be closely correlated to the normal sun declination curve.
