ASPECTS REGARDING THE USE OF REMOTE SENSING IN AGRICULTURE, OLTENIA AREA

Abstract

Remote sensing is an efficient and modern tool for identifying agricultural crops and their evolution over a year or a longer period. The paper presents the use of European software, in this case LEOWORKS 4.0, which is free and can be used especially in scientific research and education, but also Snap software. With its help, various supervised or unsupervised reports or classifications can be made.
In agriculture in general, various phenomena can occur, from drought to torrential rains, and these can be highlighted with the help of satellite remote sensing recordings. A case study is presented in the OLTENIA area, with the help of the LEOWORKS 4.0 software and the Snap software of the European Space Agency, with the help of supervised and unsupervised classification and many aspects that can lead to a better organization in the field of agriculture and in the study of agricultural crops, of agricultural works.
The use of remote sensing, combined with the use of drones and photogrammetry (lidar, terrestrial laser scanning) and GNSS and geographic information systems solves any problem in terms of monitoring and identifying agricultural crops and their evolution over a year or a longer period.
