Abstract
Soil and crop water condition monitoring is a
fundamental step in agricultural production. There are
different methods to measure water stress, some of them are
based on soil moisture measurements while others are based on
calculations of vegetation indices, evapotranspiration or soil
water balance. Currently, the use of remote sensing technologies
for the analysis of plant water status comprises a wide range of
available methods such as infrared thermometry for canopy
temperature measures, microwave radiation for soil water
content assessment, and spectral vegetation indices for the study
of the reflectance responses of canopies to different
environmental conditions. The aim of the presented work is to
investigate the applicability of the optical remote sensing in
mapping the moisture content within agricultural field.
