Satellite imagery dataset of manure application on pasture fields by Oscar D. Pedrayes, Rubén Usamentiaga

“…The imagery is collected through Google Earth Engine using the satellite Sentinel-2, which offers 13 hyperspectral bands in the range of ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths including the visible spectrum. From these 13 bands, the most common hyperspectral indices in the literature for precision agriculture are calculated and added into the images as channels. 51 hyperspectral indices are calculated, summing up to a total of 64 channels per image when adding the raw bands from Sentinel-2. …”
