Introduction
1.7. Motivation
Based on the above discussion it is found that research in the field of tea is essential for the upliftment of the gardens as very little work has been done so far in this sector. The lack of previous studies in monitoring tea using remote sensing provided the idea to carry forward the work where some solutions could be given to the garden management for effective decision making in the near future. In this research it has been decided to study the bush health of the tea plantations using the geospatial techniques like the tonal variations and texture analysis and how the bush health is affecting the tea yield. From the texture analysis, the variation in the plantations will be identified and this will be used to interpret whether the area is healthy or moderately healthy or diseased. Once the bush health is identified then its effect on yield will be studied.
