Simultaneous corn and soybean yield prediction from remote sensing data using deep transfer learning

Abstract Large-scale crop yield estimation is, in part, made possible due to the availability of remote sensing data allowing for the continuous monitoring of crops throughout their growth cycle. Having this information allows stakeholders the ability to make real-time decisions to maximize yield po...
