Cover Story: The spaceborne hyperspectral missions foreseen to be launched in the next few years will provide an unprecedented amount of spectroscopic data, enabling new research possibilities within several fields of natural resources, including the “Agriculture and Food Security” domain. In order to efficiently exploit this data stream to extract useful information for sustainable agriculture applications, new processing methods and techniques need to be studied and implemented. This work evaluated the potential of the hybrid approach (radiative transfer model plus machine learning) to assess maize traits (chlorophyll and nitrogen content at leaf and canopy level) within the framework of the future CHIME mission. The promising results obtained in this study support the feasibility of crop traits’ retrieval from spaceborne imaging spectroscopy. View this paper.
