    Estimated Processing: Less than 2 hours
    Volume Measurement Algorithm Output Volume Measurement Algorithm Output

    Description

    The Volume Measurement algorithm automatically calculates cut-fill volume for areas of interest delineated by the user. It takes a digital surface model and an area of interest (AOI) shapefile as inputs and generates a GIS vector file (shapefile) and a KML file showing the user-defined piles along with their respective cut, fill and total volume.

    The method uses accounts for the base terrain slope. Unlike approaches that assume a flat and horizontal base, this volume measurement interpolates the base height from the elevation under the vertices of the area of interest delineated by the user. The cut and fill values are calculated based on this interpolated base terrain height instead of simply calculating it from the lowest height (flat/horizontal).

    This approach provides good results when the AOI is delineated directly on the base terrain. It is not recommended to attempt isolating the volumes from closely adjacent piles or piles adjacent to a cliff.

    Description

    Identify standing water in pre-emergent agriculture fields

    Using only high-resolution imagery from your NIR modified sensor, areas of standing water in agriculture fields can be accurately identified and measured. This algorithm was developed to work in pre-emergent agricultural fields and quantify areas that cannot be planted due to standing water. Additional uses could include determining flood damage immediately after an extreme rain event or monitoring water levels of permanent water features.

    Users should be aware that outside of pre-emergent agriculture conditions there is potential to misclassify non-water features as standing water. Typically, dark surfaces (shadows, asphalt, etc.) can be confused with water in this algorithm.

    Description

    Absolute Sense™ - In Crop Mapping - Nitrogen - Winter Wheat*

    A new layer of information to support agronomic decision-making.

    • Instant view of nitrogen distribution in your field.
      • See in-field N variation.
      • See best/worst areas for nitrogen uptake.
      • Combine with other in-crop nutrient maps and/or soil maps to get a full layered picture of information.
      • Supports planning decisions.
    • Values in kilogrammes of nitrogen per hectare.
      • Additional information to support agronomic decisions for calculating fertiliser applications.

    Two colour profiles are supported:

    1. Equal Area uses a dynamic legend, enabling users to see more detail across the field, highlighting where the variation in the field is at one time. This option is best for supporting fertiliser management decisions.
    2. Equal Spacing visibly useful when comparing against other fields and also previous in-season maps of the same field across growth stages.

    Required Conditions for Optimal Data Capture

    • Good sunlight - best times of day between 10:00 through to 15:00.
    • Clear skies (cloud patches over the capture area may cast shadows and degrade data).
    • The sensor must be calibrated. (i.e. using panels of reflection).

    *Tested on feed winter wheat
