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
Thermal cameras can detect and record the heat that radiates (known as infrared radiation, IR) from objects, which is an object’s heat signature. The heat signature that emanates from an object is produced by the speed of atoms moving around in it, so the faster the atom vibration within a given object the hotter the
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,
The Parrot ANAFI USA drone has a double optical 4K EO camera. It has zoom in capabilities from wide angle to telephoto (32X). It can detect thermal data with high precision (within centimeters) from an altitude as high as 131ft. It is equipped with a FLIR Boson 320. The thermal camera has two thermal color
Longwave infrared (LWIR) is usually demarcated to fall between 8.0 – 14.0 µm wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a frequently utilized infrared technology for many drone applications, such as: Farm and crop analysis and solar field scans. The LWIR wavelengths can detect temperatures that radiate off the plants and the crop field. Thus
EVO II Enterprise Pro (6K) Photography, Mapping, 3D Modeling, and Inspections Sony IMX383 1” CMOS Image Sensor InfiRay 640×512 Thermal Core Pro version of the EVO II has a high resolution 1” sensor used for producing photographs and videos. The Dual 640T has the side-by-side design for the cameras. One is a high resolution 640
This sensor couples a resolution radiometric (640×512) Boson® thermal sensor with a 64MP RGB (visible) sensor in one model. It has a size, weight, and power (SWaP) design that inceases its desirability for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that have a need for good battery life and run time. This is a Longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal
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
