Abstract
This chapter provides a brief overview of the development of remote sensing tools that are used to assess crop health. Today there are a wide variety of sensing options available to crop producers and researchers alike, which allow for close observation of the crop. Remote sensing information can be collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), manned aircraft, and satellite platforms.
