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
Agriculturalists are moving towards applying more advanced technology in order to maximize crop production and workflow efficiency. Some technological advances that have been made are the development in artificial intelligence (AI), electronic devices, and sensors. These technologies are often applied to data collection such as crop count, plant disease assessment, drought monitoring, and soil analysis.
Yuneec H520E RTK Commercial Hexacopter Yuneec made these drones available to the public November 2020. They made these drones to target the needs for the inspection industry. The six rotor design enhances the stability and precision of drone flight. Its long focal-length camera lens gives you the ability to gather data further away from target
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,
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
This is a measurement used in photogrammetry and survey/mapping returns from drone survey missions. GSD is the distance between two adjacent pixels and is measured from the center of one pixel to the center of the adjacent pixel. It is correlated to the camera focal length, the resolution of the sensor, and the distance between
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) refers to the part of the electromagnetic energy spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. It is just one section of energy wavelengths that are part of a larger group that in toto make up light i.e. the light spectrum. At one end of this section where the wavelengths
The photogrammetry process pulls out 3D information from 2D images that are collected during an aerial survey flight mission. The process involves taking overlapping photographs of an object, structure, or space, and converting them into 2D or 3D survey maps. Photogrammetry is often used by surveyors, architects, engineers, and contractors to create topographic maps, meshes,
Above Ground Level (AGL), describes the literal height above the ground over which you’re flying. Mean Sea Level, or MSL, is your true altitude or elevation. It’s the average height above standard sea level where the atmospheric pressure is measured in order to calibrate altitude. On a Sectional Chart, all of the numbers you see
