Description: |
|
Throughout the world
multi-spectral imaging systems monitor the visible and
near-infrared radiation reflected from crops in order to spot
crop threats and increase crop yield. Through lectures and
hands-on laboratory exercises,
this course is designed to
deliver an in-depth understanding of multi-spectral imaging
technology with an emphasis on its practical use in agricultural
management.
The class
describes current technology, tools, and methods used for
collecting, organizing, and analyzing multi-spectral images.
Participants learn how to use multi-spectral
hardware and software to capture visible and near-infrared
images of vegetation, extract NDVI and other vegetation indices
from these, and how to interpret images to recognize signs of
stressed vegetation. They
also learn how to
integrate these systems with manned and unmanned aircraft and
other peripheral devices. Finally, they learn how to stitch multiple images together into precise
geo-referenced image mosaics.

Outside of the classroom, participants use their cameras to capture
multi-spectral images of native vegetation in various stages of
health.
Multispectral images of various crop canopies are also supplied.
In the classroom, participants extract NDVI, SAVI, and other
vegetation indices using the free software pre-loaded on their
laptops.
Class participants are
provided with a loaner camera and free software to use for
field and lab exercises. Those individuals who bring their own Tetracam
multi-spectral camera and a laptop pre-loaded with
the required multi-spectral image processing
software to class receive a $500 discount on class
tuition.
Individuals who complete this class
receive a Certificate in the Principles of Multispectral
Imaging Technology from Tetracam.
Who Should Take This Course:
Principles of Multispectral Imaging Technology is
recommended for growers, crop consultants, researchers,
educators, and others tasked with employing multi-spectral
imaging systems to remotely sense and analyze the condition and
chemistry of vegetation. The class is also helpful for UAS
providers, system integrators, professional aerial photographers,
and other suppliers of remote sensing equipment
and services considering that the class delivers a practical understanding of
Tetracam systems and the market which they serve.
