EO College course: "Imaging Spectroscopy for Agricultural Applications"

This course will provide you with the fundamentals of imaging spectroscopy specifically for agricultural applications and gives you access to free data sources, open-source software and hands-on training exercises.

By the end of this course, you should have learned:

🛰️ The benefits of imaging spectroscopy for agricultural applications

🛰️ The physical and chemical factors controlling leaf and canopy reflectance

🛰️ Which biophysical and biochemical variables can be retrieved as “vegetation traits”

🛰️ Some basics of campaign- and sampling design

🛰️ How reference data are acquired in an agricultural context

🛰️ Where you can get imaging spectroscopy data from and what software you could use

🛰️ Which methods to apply in an agricultural context

🛰️ and finally, how to analyze an imaging spectroscopy dataset yourself!
