Integration between Technologies correct answers Proximal sensing would be ground-based,
autonomous systems for specific symptoms, and machine-mounted
Remote Sensing would be airborne and spaceborne for field symptoms
A combination of both would be UAVs, looking at plan symptoms
What are Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)? correct answers Control space-time, high details
and information, but are costly and requires data pre-processing
What is Proximal Soil Sensing (PSS)? correct answers PSS is defined as the field-based sensors
that obtain signals from the soil when the sensor's detector is in contact with or close to (within
2m) the soil.
1) Measurement (invasive and non-invasive)
2) energy (passive and active)
3) Operation (mobile and stationary)
4) Inference (direct and indirect)
