DESCRIPTION:Australia produces 31.1 million tonnes of sugarcane annually\, 
 putting Australia in the top ten for production worldwide. However\, sugar
 cane yield can be heavily hampered by the impact of several health conditi
 ons. Ratoon Stunting Disease (RSD) alone can reduce yield by up to 40%\, c
 osting the sugarcane industry more than $25 million annually. RSD is both 
 highly contagious and not visibly identifiable\, requiring samples to unde
 rgo lab testing. These samples are difficult and time-consuming to acquire
  given the large size of sugarcane farms. This talk presents the results o
 f an investigation and development of a large-scale sugarcane health monit
 oring system with multispectral satellites to increase the probability of 
 detecting disease\, reducing its cost and impact on the industry.\n\nSpeak
