Description

The RAISE project aims to evaluate the combined effectiveness of regenerative practices to improvesoil ecological functions and irrigation systems based on soil–plant sensing technologies in vineyard management. The activities are carried out under the supervision of a tutor. Among the evaluation methods, UAV-based data acquisition using hyperspectral and thermal cameras is included. The candidate will be responsible for image analysis, the computation of vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI, PRI, MCARI, CWSI), and the development of innovative approaches for spectral signature analysis, with the aim of identifying reflectance bands sensitive to the applied treatments and enabling the transfer of the methodology to areas beyond the experimental sites...
