introduction Application/Software Types (By Function) Purpose How it works Acquisition software Used for controlling the drone during the flight. Examples include: Pix4D Capture, Maps Made Easy, and UCGS: A Desktop software for image/video stitching software. The grower flies a drone over the plants and field to collect images that provide information about the health, disease
Introduction Precision agriculture workflows involve operation of aerial drones, sensors/cameras, and software applications. The goal is to gain valuable insights into your crops. In recent times, the number of growers using drones to collect crop and field data has increased significantly. Agriculture-specific applications have been developed to meet this demand. Users can plan autonomous flight
Many of us seek methods to optimize crop production by gaining more information from the field. Various technologies are available for grower’s aid electronic devices, sensors, data management applications, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to name a few. These trends became more critical in the past decade or so and became a center of research
Major areas to look for focus in precision agriculture for 2023 include: Digital agriculture, robotics and automation, and sustainability practices. Robotics and Automation The areas to watch for robotics and automation to increase the efficiency for farm management are things like: pruning, thinning, harvesting, spraying, mowing, and weeding. Sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and control systems
PrecisionHawk, founded in Raleigh, NC 2010, has merged with Field, a European geo-tech company. These two companies are combining their products and technology and by the end of the year PrecisionHawk will be functioning under the Field brand name. However, it’s US headquarters will continue to be located in Raleigh, NC. As of this writing,
Generally, Parrot has stopped producing drones for the general public consumer anymore. When you pull up their website you see the ANAFI AI and the ANAFI USA drones being marketed. You also see that Parrot identifies their company mission with building professional drones that focus on the needs for industries in: Inspection, first responders, firefighters,
DJI has developed a variety of aerial drones that farmers can use for monitoring and managing the health and potential environmental stresses for their crops and fields. The Agras T-Series Drones (T-10, T-16, T-20, T-30, T-40)are agricultural drones used for spraying crops and fields. It can perform multiple missions for surveying, mapping, spraying, and spreading.
Agisoft Agisoft is a photogrammetric processing application for digital images captured during fight survey missions . It generates 3D geospatial data that is used in Geographic Information System (GIS) operations and indirect measurements of objects across a variety of scales. Agisoft Cloud This is an online platform that can be used for field inspection, interpreting

The term, fog computing, was originated by Cisco. It is used to indicate the edge of an enterprise’s network. Fog computing has also been labeled as Fogging or Edge Computing. The concept is intended to describe the computing nodes available between a host device and the cloud. Therefore, it is considered to be a decentralized
