Human remote sensing with HAWKEYE glasses for early forest and agriculture stress detection

Early detection of plant stress has always been a priority in forestry and agriculture. Identifying and treating problems increases both food and fiber production as well as making the most of scarce resources. In the past, farmers, foresters, and gardeners have relied upon expensive electronic and/or photographic systems to detect plant stress problems before they devastate plants. This paper highlights some of the early findings on a study to create a simple detection system using specially tinted glasses and human observation.
