It has been long known that thermal imaging may be used to detect stress (e.g. water and nutrient deficiency) in growing crops. Developments in microbolometer thermal cameras, such as the introduction of imaging arrays that may operate without costly active temperature stabilization, have vitalized the interest in thermal imaging for crop measurements. In this study, we have focused on the challenges occurring when temperature stabilization is omitted, including the effects of focal-plane-array (FPA) temperature, camera settings and the environment in which the measurements are performed. Further, we have designed and tested models for providing thermal response from an analog LWIR video signal (typical output from low-cost microbolometer thermal cameras). Finally, we have illustrated and discussed challenges which typically occur under practical use of thermal imaging of crops, by means of three cereal showcases, including proximal and remotely based (UAV) data acquisition. The results showed that changing FPA temperature greatly affected the measurements, and that wind and irradiance also appeared to affect the temperature dynamics considerably. Further, we found that adequate settings of camera gain and offset were crucial for obtaining a reliable result. The model which was considered best in terms of transforming video signals into thermal response data included information on camera FPA temperature, and was based on a priori calibrations using a black-body radiation source under controlled conditions. Very good calibration (r2>0.99, RMSE=0.32°C, n=96) was obtained for a target temperature range of 15-35°C, covering typical daytime crop temperatures in the growing season. However, the three showcases illustrated, that under practical conditions, more factors than FPA temperature may need to be corrected for. In conclusion, this study shows that thermal data acquisition by means of an analog, uncooled thermal camera may represent a possible, cost-efficient method for the detection of crop stress, but appropriate corrections of disturbing factors are required in order to obtain sufficient accuracy.

In an attempt to discern stochastic and deterministic parts of measured signals, we analyze time series from the viewpoint of ordinal pattern statistics. After choosing a suitable embedding dimension $D$, the occurrencies of all $D!$ patterns form a probability distribution $P$. The latter is input to information and complexity functionals describing, e.g., chaotic regimes or stochastic properties due to long-range correlations. Here, we use an information quantifier which is local in pattern probability space, the Fisher information $F$. This is calculable only after fixing a pattern coding scheme, i.e. numbering each and every pattern. It has been demonstrated that $F$ discerns different dynamic regimes for the logistic map to a certain extent; however, this depends on the details of the coding scheme. Here, we seek to find an optimal coding scheme for long-range correlated stochastic processes, mimicking many records e.g. from the geosciences. To increase the contrast between colored noise and deterministic processes, $F$ should be minimal for the former. Structurally similar ordinal patterns should be located adjacent to each other. Similarity is related to the number of inversions in the respective patterns. In practical terms, it is impossible to try all $D!!$ coding schemes whenever$D > 3$; however, we demonstrate a classification of coding schemes into equivalence classes based on the number of "jumps" in the patterns. These are used to improve the Keller and Lehmer coding schemes. The approach has a potential to provide an analytical understanding of the Fisher information for stochastic processes. Results for these optimizations will be shown for both the logistic map and colored ($k$-) noise. As a byproduct, an innovative method to estimate the scaling exponent $k$ emerges. Finally, we comment shortly on the importance of finite size effects, which is always an issue when dealing with observed data.
