Confused Pixels Interference in Maps of Agricultural Management Zones

Amélia Laísy do Nascimento, Emanoel Di Tarso dos Santos Sousa, Fernando Ferreira Lima dos Santos, Samira Luns Hatum de Almeida & Domingos Sárvio Magalhães Valente · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2019

Management zones can be delimited using fuzzy logic, a technique that assigns values of degrees of pertinence to each pixel of a map. When the value tends to 1, these degrees indicate that there is certainty that the pixel belongs to a certain class of the management zone. Howeve...
