2. INTEGRATING AIR AND SPACE BORNE SPECTROSCOPY AND LASER SCANNING TO ASSESS STRUCTURAL AND

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CROPS AND FIELD MARGIN VEGETATION

• One of projects in the network based Indo-German consortium research projects ”The Rural-Urban Interface of

Bangalore: A Space of Transitions in Agriculture, Economics, and Society”

• Funding agency: Department of Bio Technology

• Total fund : 200 Lakhs.

• Co Investigator for the project. PI: Dr. Rama Rao Nidamanuri (IIST) and Dr Sunil Nautiyal (ISEC Bangalore).

• The project aims at developing a methodology for fusion of ground and airborne/space-borne hyperspectral

and LIDAR remote sensors for regional level large scale assessment of the spatio-temporal dynamics of cropping

systems.
