Geo-Registration of Imagery
Geo-registration is facilitated by GPS mapping
ground features visible in the image
• Intersections
• Well pivots
• Building corners
• Grain bins, etc.

Linking NDVI to Nitrogen Levels

Nitrogen Treatment
…there appears to be a strong relationship between NDVI
measurements from remotely sensed data and nitrogen
application levels
(Preliminary study, Wright, Red Hen Systems,)
Delineating Zones
Visible differences in an
aerial image can be used
to delineate portions of a
field that have
consistent texture and
color (Management
Zones).
The zones are assumed
to have consistent levels
for each of the field’s
driving variables
(uniform conditions)
(Wright & Berry)
Mgt Zones vs. Map Surfaces …the bottomline
…both approaches “carve” a field into smaller pieces to better represent the unique conditions and
patterns occurring in the field. Zones pre-partitions it into relatively large, irregular areas that are
assumed to be homogenous—discrete polygons. Surfaces, on the other hand, process field samples
for an estimate of each factor at grid cells throughout a uniform analysis grid—continuous
gradient.
…relationships among
Surfaces (data layers) are
easily investigated

No map analysis is possible with Management Zones

The Precision Farming Process
As a combine moves through a field 1) it uses GPS to check its location then
2) checks the yield at that location to 3) create a continuous map of the yield
variation every few feet. This map 4) is combined
with
Stepssoil,
1)–3)terrain and other maps to derive a
5) “Prescription Map” that is used to adjust
fertilization levels every few feet in the field

Linking Data and Map Distributions
A histogram depicts the numerical distribution
A map depicts the geographical distribution
…the data values link
the two views—
Click anywhere on the
map and the histogram
interval is highlighted;
click on a histogram
interval and the map
locations are
highlighted
(Berry)
Preprocessing and Map Normalization
Preprocessing involves conversion of raw data into consistent
units that accurately represent field conditions.
Calibration - translates signals into measurements of crop production units, such
as bushels per acre (measure of volume) or tons per hectare (measure of mass).
Adjustments - “tweaking” the values… sort of like a slight turn on that bathroom
scale to alter the reading to what you know is your true weight.
Corrections - dramatically changes the measurement values, such as after the mass
flow correction to GPS coordinates
Normalization involves standardization of a data set, usually for
comparison among different types of data.
Goal - Norm_GOAL = (mapValue / 250 ) * 100
0-100 - Norm_0-100 = ((mapValue – min) * 100) / (max – min)
SNV - Norm_SNV = ((mapValue - mean) / stdev) * 100
(Berry)
Preprocessing and Map Normalization
Applying the MapCalc equation…
Norm_GOAL = (Yield_Vol / 250 ) * 100
…generates a standardized map based on a yield goal of 250 bushels/acre. This map can be used in
analysis with other goal-normalized maps, even from different crops
Since normalization
involves scalar
mathematics (constants),
the pattern of the
numeric distribution
(histogram) and the
spatial distribution (map)
doesn’t change
…same relative distributions
(Berry)
Assessing Localized Variation in Yield
Scan Yield_Volume Coffvar
Within 2
For Yield_Coffvar
Where,
Coffvar= Stdev/mean *100
The “Scan” operation moves a
window around the yield map and
calculates the Coefficient of
Variation with a 2-cell radius of
each location
…higher values indicate areas with more
localized variability
(Berry)
Assessing Rate of Change in Yield
Slope 1997_Yield_Volume Fitted
For Yield_Slope
Where,
Slope= Rise/Run *100
The “Slope” operation moves a
window around the yield map and
calculates the inclination (rate of
change) in yield of neighboring
cells
…higher values indicate areas with rapidly
changing productivity
(Berry)
Analysis“Within” A Surface
Univariate analysis investigates relationships within a single map
• Slope
~ rate of change (spatial derivative) of each surface element (grid cell)
• Aspect
~ orientation (direction) of each surface element
The slope and aspect of an elevation surface (altitude derived from a surveyed points or
rectified orthophotos) identifies terrain steepness and orientation; example uses include
road-building and water runoff modeling
The slope and aspect of a barometric surface (air pressure gradient derived from a set
weather station data) estimates wind speed and direction
The slope and aspect of a thermal gradient in a lake (generated from remote sensing data
of surface temperature) identifies rate and direction of cooling from a thermal input
(nuclear powerplant ponds)
The slope and aspect of a total revenue surface (generated by summing the cash flow
stream for each surface element) identifies a marginal revenue surface which shows the
spatial distribution of relative cash flow
The slope and aspect of a proximity surface determines the speed and direction of the
optimal movement in traversing each surface element
…what would the slope of a slopemap show? …the aspect of a slopemap?
(Berry)
Analysis“Within” A Surface …continued
Univariate analysis investigates relationships within a map surface
• Aggregation
~ sum of the values for all or a portion of the surface elements
(spatial integral); example uses include cut/fill calculations in road building and total
yield estimates in precision farming
• Coefficient of Variation ~ localized variation surrounding each surface
element (surface roughness)
• Mathematical Translations ~ scalar arithmetic, logarithmic, trigonometric
and logical operations; example use of taking the cosine of the zenith angle formed
between the sun’s position and each elevation surface element to calculate insolation (sun
energy at each location)
• Statistical Operations ~ describe and characterize a surface
 Descriptive statistics (min. max, range, median, mode, mean, skewness…)
 Similarity assessment (spatial autocorrelation)
 Predictive statistics (map generalization and interpolation)
 Accuracy assessment (residual analysis of how well a surface fits a data set)
• Other “Stuff” ~ standard Normal Variable Surface; pattern recognition filters

Map Variables… map values within an analysis grid can be
mathematically and statistically analyzed
…green indicates
areas of increased
production
…yellow indicates

(Berry)
Data Analysis (assessing spatial patterns)
What spatial
relationships do
you see?
…do relatively high
levels of P often occur
with high levels of K
and N?
…how often?
…where?
(Berry)
Data Analysis (assessing spatial patterns)
Data Clustering identifies of similar data patterns– Management Zones
…the “data shishkebab” for each grid location is sent to a statistical algorithm that divides
the data set into groups that are 1) as similar within each group and 2) as different
between groups as possible
(Berry)

are linked to

are linked to

(Berry)
Investigating Surface Correlation (error analysis)
…a predicted surface is compared to actual data (% difference map) for an assessment of
overall performance and spatial pattern of errors. In this instance, the model is a good
predictor within the partitioned area but poor along the west and north edges.

Mapping vs.
Data Analysis; Tools vs. Science
• Science Link –
“Scientific Method”

• Market Confusion – Empirical

Micro Terrain Analysis (Slope and Flow)
Characterizing Slope
A digital terrain surface is formed by
assigning an elevation value to each
cell in an analysis grid. The “slant” of
the terrain at any location can be
calculated— inclination of a plane
fitted to the elevation values of the
immediate vicinity
Characterizing Surface Flow
A map of surface flow is simulated by
aggregating the “steepest downhill
paths” from each cell— confluence
Slope and Flow maps draped over vertically
exaggerated terrain surface
(Berry)
Micro Terrain Analysis (Slope and Flow)
Calibrating Slope and Flow Classes:
Areas of Gentle, Moderate, and
Steep slopes are identified; areas of light, moderate and heavy flows are identified
(Berry)
Micro Terrain Analysis (a simple erosion model)
Determining Erosion Potential: The slope and flow classes are
combined into a single map identifying erosion potential

(Berry)
Precision Farming… an Oxymoron?
What are your thoughts…
 Are there spatial variations in
agricultural fields?
 Is our technology able to
“precisely” measure the spatial
variations?
 Can we derive and validate the
spatial relationships in the patterns?
 Can we develop and implement

spatially-based management
actions?
