Read MoreGrowth Models and Age Estimation of Rice using Multitemporal Vegetation Index on Landsat 8 Imagery
Age and growth are two essential rice biophysics parameters used to determine the health parameters and production rate. The spatial data of both parameters can utilize remote sensing technology, which in turn makes use of several vegetation indices to achieve accurate estimation. However, due to the rapid changes in rice plants’ characteristics, it is essential…
Read MoreSimulated Annealing for Traveling Salesman Problem with Hotel Selection for a Distribution Company Based in Mexico
A distribution company in Mexico covers the travel expenses for 21 sales representatives. Currently, the routes they follow are not established clearly, which can lead to high costs in this subject.
