“The location of information is what makes the information powerful!”
Overview Introduction Applications • Oil Palm Yield Forecasting • Nutrient Mapping • Yield and Growth Analysis • Terrain Analysis • Hydrological Modelling Micro-UAV imaging
Introduction What? The Technologies • Remote Sensing • Global Positioning System (GPS) • Geographical Information System (GIS) • etc.
Why? Introduction (Cont.) • accuracy (accurate information) • cost-effectiveness • better perspective, • enhance communication • quick decision making.
When? Introduction (Cont.) 1997 NOW 2005 2012 2007 15 1997 years Evolution of Geospatial Technology
Introduction What? Current Key Projects • Oil Palm Yield Forecasting • Accurately forecast oil palm yield for the next financial year • Accuracy of ≥95% at estate level • Site Yield Potential • Establishing achievable and realistic long term yield target based on site specific criteria
Oil Palm Yield Forecasting (Cont.) • In principles, different kind of surface materials can be distinguished from each other by differences in reflectance. CT38 (12.5 MT/ha) 01 A (25.5 MT/ha) 01 D (32.2 MT/ha) 02 D (36.5 MT/ha) Reflectance Index Case Study: Carey Island (2009) Ground Truth Sensor: Spectroradiometer Wavelength (nm)
Oil Palm Yield Forecasting (MT/Ha/Yr) Field : 84C Year after planting in 2007 : 23 Spectral age: 16.74 Yield (CIFOS/Actual) : 19.68/19.60 MT/Ha Accuracy: 99.61% Data Source: Landsat (30m) Data Cost: Free Download 13-14 14-15 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 19-20 20-21 21-22 22-23 23-24 24-25 25-26 26-27
