Crop Pest and Disease Remote Sensing Monitoring and Forecasting

This book presents the research and applications carried out by the Vegetation
Remote Sensing & Pest and Disease Application Research Team of Aerospace
Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIR-CAS) in the
field of pest and disease monitoring and forecasting during the past ten
years. Organized in five parts, this work covers crop pest and disease remote
sensing monitoring and forecasting mechanisms, algorithms, models, system
development and applications. The first part introduces the importance and
current research status of crop pest and disease monitoring and forecasting.
From the second to the fourth parts, the authors engage readers with various
subjects related to non-imaging and imaging remote sensing monitoring, remote
sensing forecasting. The construction and application of crop pest and disease
remote sensing monitoring and forecasting system are described in the last
part. This book can be used as a reference book in the areas of agricultural
information technology, 3S technology application, agricultural plant
protection, agrometeorology and agricultural extension. Being internationally
prestigious experts and young scientists, the authors provide an essential
view of their important work supported by multiple major research funding
programs (National Key R&D; Program of China, Newton-UK-China Agri-centers,
Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
National Natural Science Foundation of China, Beijing Nova Program of Science
and Technology, National special support program for high-level personnel,
Ten-thousand TalentsProgram, Youth Innovation Promotion Association CAS,
Hainan Provincial High level talent Program of Basic and Applied Basic
Research Plan, etc.).
