PENGEMBANGAN MODEL ESTIMASI UMUR TANAMAN SAWIT DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN DATA LANDSAT-TM

Abstract

Oil Palm Plantation (Elaelis Guineensis Jacq), in its growth will undergo physical change so that it can be monitored by remote sensing data, that is by observing the influence of age towards spectral band reflectance or indices that can be obtained from Landsat-TM data. The analysis shows Landsat spectral band that correlates with oil palm plantation's age is Band-5 (r=-0.75), Band-7 (r=-0.52), Band-4 (r=-0.50). The indices that correlate with oil palm plantation's age is ratio Band 5/3 (r=-0.71), IRI (r=-0.56) and MIRI-1 (r=-0.48). NDVI and IRI do not correlate with the plantation's age.
