https://doi.org/10.22059/jrwm.2012.30023

Abstract
  Remote sensing and aerial photographs are used to produce medium to small scale images. However, for detailed information especially to estimate rangeland vegetation canopy cover there is a need to larger scale images. It is therefore necessary to study the technical applicability of different devices ...  Read More
