TL;DR: To analyze recent tree plantation expansion in northeastern Costa Rica, the potential of combining moderate-resolution hyperspectral imagery with multitemporal, multispectral data (Landsat) to accurately classify tree plantations by species composition was examined.

TL;DR: The International Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE) initiative as mentioned in this paper is an example of such an integrated approach, which was originally developed as a response from climate science to the needs of the agricultural sector in Queensland, Australia for a longer, more spatially and temporally complete database of the weather.

TL;DR: Overall, it was found that a flight speed of 2.7 m/s, careful mission planning, and the integration of the bundling adjustment were important system characteristics for optimizing the image quality at an ultra-high spatial resolution (3–5 cm).

TL;DR: It is found that high positional accuracy is not necessarily related to the platform cost or grade, rather the most important aspect is the use of post-processing kinetic (PPK) or real-time kinetic (RTK) solutions for geotagging the photographs.

TL;DR: In this article, the Peruvian Amazon Rural Livelihoods and Poverty (PARLAP) Project was proposed to identify the factors that contribute to rural poverty among indigenous and folk peoples through the first large scale survey conducted in this data poor region.
