Agricultural UAV
Combining survey and treatment
Fly to find out where the problem is, then treat only there. The loop that makes precision agriculture real.

Agricultural UAV
Flight data processing
Organising and protecting flight data
Data accumulates fast. Structure imposed at the start costs far less than structure imposed later.
Flight data processing
Extracting information clients can use
Maps are raw material. The value is in the measurements and conclusions the client actually acts on.
Flight data processing
Software and computing for processing
What software you need, how to choose it, and the hardware realities that determine throughput.
Flight data processing
Integrating UAV data with other sources
Drone data is worth more combined with existing mapping, satellite imagery and ground measurement.
Flight planning
Designing a flight plan for the job
Working back from the deliverable to the flight lines, and the calculations that are easy to get wrong.
Sensors and payloads
Multispectral sensing and analysis
Capturing outside the visible range to measure what the eye cannot see, and doing it rigorously.
Survey and mapping
What a survey flight actually has to get right
Ground sample distance, overlap and control points decide whether the map is usable. Everything else is detail.
