Application of Multiple Frame Sampling on Multi Resolution Satellite Data for Crop Yield Estimation

Singh et al. [23], have proved that spectral vegetation index from satellite data can be effectively used to stratify the cropped area according to crop conditions or vegetation vigor into homogeneous strata. In the present study an attempt has been made to apply the multiple frame estimation technique for crop yield estimation when the satellite data is multistratified by different spectral vegetation indices. An empirical study to estimate the yield of wheat crop for district Rhotak, and Haryana state for the year 1997-98 using Indian Remote Sensing (IRS-1D), LISS-III & WIFS data has been conducted.
