METHOD OF REMOTE MONITORING OF RICE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01C11/00 A01G16/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: perform panoramic space IR radiometric surveying the earth's surface with an average resolution of 100-200 m and intervals of 12-24 hours. The averaged results of pictures taken for 2-3 days at different times of the day. Build a temperature map of the underlying surface. There are 3-4 group fields, differing value of the average surface temperature by 2-3 degrees. As a result of the panoramic space IR radiometric survey develop the optimal route of the subsequent microwave-infrared radiometric survey. So, first of all microwave IR radiometric survey carried out for the group of fields with the highest temperature of the surface, i.e. a group allegedly drier checks. As a result of microwave radiometric IR-shooting build maps of soil moisture and groundwater level with the detail for each check. Further checks in with the values of the average moisture content of the surface layer of soil, water capacity close to normal, perform detailed microwave radiometric survey. As a result of the detailed survey maps build micro-relief checks. Form the decision to start agromeliorative measures to check the data.

EFFECT: improved accuracy condition monitoring rice fields in the pre-period.
