Spectral Characteristics and Mapping of Rice Fields using Multi-Temporal Landsat and MODIS Data: A Case of District Narowal
Published In: GJHSS Part: B: Geography, Geo-Sciences Environmental Science & Disaster Management Volume: 14 Issue: 6
Availability of remote sensed data provides powerful access to the spatial and temporal information of the earth surface. Real-time earth observation data acquired during a cropping season can assist in assessing crop growth and development performance. As remote sensed data is generally available at large scale, rather than at field-plot level, use of this information would help to impr...
