Crop Yield Prediction Techniques using Remote Sensing Data

Abstract

Crop yield prediction is an art of forecasting the yield of crop before harvesting. Prediction of crop yield will be very useful for the government to make food policies, market price, import and export policies and proper warehousing well in time. The socio-economical impact of crop loss due to any natural disaster i.e. flood, drought can be minimized and humanitarian food assistance can be planned. The paper present a literature survey of various stastical method, empirical models,artificial neural network and machine learning regression techniques which are used with the data provided by the satellites. Many models are developed and results calculated are compared with the benchmark models are also presented.
