Ponencia presentada en el XV Congreso de la Asociación Española de Teledetección celebrado en Torrejón de Ardóz (Madrid) del 22 al 24 de octubre de 2013, This paper assesses the use of indicators calculated from high-resolution thermal and hyperspectral imagery which are based on structural and physiological indices related with xanthophyll, chlorophyll a+b, carotenoids concentration and chlorophyll fluorescence for the early detection of stress caused by Verticillium dahliae in olive trees. This study was conducted in two commercial olive orchards where foliar and crown measurements were obtained by punctual sensors and time series of airborne thermal and hyperspectral imagery were acquired using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in three consecutive years and related to Verticillium wilt severity at the time of the flights.
