Digital approaches in agriculture crop monitoring
Abstract Implementation of modern technologies for collecting and processing spatial information, primarily Earth remote sensing data, has made it possible to solve a wide range of tasks for specialists in the agricultural industry. The work aim is to assess the state of agricultural crops on the territory of Krymskorozovskoe rural settlement of the Belogorsky district of the Republic of Crimea using materials of Earth remote sensing and modern information technologies. The article reviews the literature on the research topic, studies the most significant works on this theme. The article presents the possibilities of digital information technologies in the framework of solving agricultural problems including creation of maps of fields and database formation, study of the territory relief and the features of its morphological characteristics, prompt identification of changes in agricultural fields, based on the calculation of vegetation indices, with the use of remote sencing; classification and identification of objects by satellite images; forecasting the potential yield of agricultural crops.
