Corn Borer Detection

We're having difficulties figuring out how to detect corn borers from the air. Are there any webinars planned soon or any hints on how to get started on this? We can't optimize our aircraft for this until we've figured out how it's done.

    It may be a while (2-4 weeks) before they put up more webinars. I would suggest doing some research and talk to your mentors. You'll likely be using either the infared or hyperspectral cameras for detection. Good luck.

    Thanks, Paul. The students hadn't found anything other than close investigation techniques for identifying corn borer infestations and their mentors were not able to come up with any suggestions for aerial detection, either. I'll pass on your suggestions to them.
