Discrimination of Sugarcane Varieties by Remote Sensing: A Review of Literature

Abstract

Remote sensing techniques by satellite imagery have been widely applied in various fields of agrarian sciences due to allowing real-time information, allowing data retention in a given region without the need for displacement, avoiding costs, and also enabling the creation of more efficient methods for the task of monitoring crops. In special to remote sensing applied to sugarcane varietal identification, the possibility of discrimination among the varieties is important due to allows the monitoring of the crop growth concerning characteristics by plants, measures controls, and the preservation of copyright of developed varieties. Among the researches involving studies with sugar cane regarding varietal identification, the purpose of the paper implies to present a review of the literature, conferring methods, and checking state of the art about the subject of discrimination of sugarcane varieties by remote sensing.
