The following staff are available to supervise honours and masters research in the HyperSens research group.
Professor Pablo Zarco-Tejada
His main focus lies on remote sensing technology and methods, precision agriculture and vegetation stress detection using hyperspectral and thermal imagery acquired by manned and unmanned aircraft systems. In particular, assessing the physiological condition of crops through physical modelling. These include the early detection of diseases, water and nutrient stress using advanced airborne imaging spectroscopy and fluorescence retrievals through radiative transfer modelling.
Project topics:
- Detection of biotic and abiotic stress using airborne hyperspectral and thermal remote sensing images.
- Nutrient assessment of crops using radiative transfer models and airborne imaging spectroscopy.
- Water stress detection using high-resolution thermal images.
- Chlorophyll fluorescence quantification using narrow-band hyperspectral imagers and physical models.
