1. Utilizing Hyperspectral Field Imagery for Accurate Southern Leaf Blight Severity Grading in Corn

Crop disease detection using traditional scouting and visual inspection approaches can be laborious and time-consuming. Timely detection of disease and its severity over large spatial regions is critical for minimizing significant yield losses. Hyperspectral imagery has been demonstrated as a useful tool for a broad assessment of crop health.  The use of spectral bands from hyperspectral data to predict disease severity and progression has been shown to have the capability of enhancing early...
