Hyperspectral remote sensing for assessment of chlorophyll sufficiency levels in mature oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) based on frond numbers: analysis of decision tree and random forest

A common practice of chlorophyll (chl) determination has been using the chemical analysis that is destructive and time-consuming. A current prospective alternative method such hyperspectral remote sensing offers a non-destructive measurement of chl which provides a result in the rapid and real-time...
