Application of Geospatial Technologies for Oil Palm Plantation Management Mohd zahlan mohd zaki Malaysia Geospatial Forum 2012 | Melaka | 6-7 March 2012 “The location of information is what makes the information powerful!” 2 Overview • Introduction • Applications • • Oil Palm Yield Forecasting • Nutrient Mapping • Yield and Growth Analysis • Terrain Analysis • Hydrological Modelling Micro-UAV imaging 3 Introduction What? The Technologies • Remote Sensing • Global Positioning System (GPS) • Geographical Information System (GIS) • etc. 4 Introduction (Cont.) Why? • • • • • accuracy (accurate information) cost-effectiveness better perspective, enhance communication quick decision making. 5 Introduction (Cont.) When? 1997 NOW 2005 2012 2007 1997 15 years Evolution of Geospatial Technology 6 Where? 7 Introduction What? Current Key Projects • Oil Palm Yield Forecasting – Accurately forecast oil palm yield for the next financial year – Accuracy of ≥95% at estate level • Site Yield Potential – Establishing achievable and realistic long term yield target based on site specific criteria 8 Oil Palm Yield Forecasting 9 Oil Palm Yield Forecasting (Cont.) • In principles, different kind of surface materials can be distinguished from each other by differences in reflectance.
