Featured Presentation
Remote sensing is an important component of precision agriculture and there is a large body of scientific knowledge available which shows that remote sensing and aerial imaging can be used for crop management and many different applications in agriculture. However, many growers are not able to take advantage of this technology due to the cost and difficulty of obtaining high resolution and timely aerial images. This presentation summarizes the development of a multi-rotor low-cost flying platform and shows examples of its potential applications in agriculture. The system has the capability of flying to a GPS waypoint or flying according to a pre-assigned flight path.
