Abstract

The increase of the world population has had an impact in the agricultural field. As a consequence, this implies an increase in food production. To address this demand, farmers had to boost crop yields and land sizes. The latter one led to ineffectiveness of traditional methods for crop monitoring. For this reason, farmers began to adopt and adapt technological breakthroughs into agriculture by applying the concept of remote sensing. Remote sensing aims to collect information at a distance through the use of cameras and, in some cases, aerial platforms. Furthermore, multispectral cameras allowed farmers to better understand the management of crops and crop’s health. Also, through study of literature, it was found that thermal imaging could be an important tool to measure the crop’s condition. However, due to complexity of thermal images, an open-source tool that integrated this functionality was not found. Therefore, this paper proposes an open-source method that addresses the complexities of thermal images and is able to produce maps by exploiting them.
