03 Aug 2023

Description

In this episode of Your Drone Questions Answered (Episode 21), we delve into the world of mapping and processing crop and plant health using drones. Our guest, Matt Donovan, CEO of Agriculture Intelligence Inc. and Chief Product Officer of AgroView.ai, shares valuable insights and expertise.The question at hand is whether a standard RGB camera on a drone is sufficient for crop and plant health mapping or if an NDVI sensor is needed. Matt explains that while an RGB collection can offer some indications of crop leaf density and greenness, an NDVI analysis typically requires a multispectral collection with a five-band sensor, including RGB, near-infrared, and Red Edge.To ensure the best practices for crop health mapping, it's essential to understand wide-scale data collection and choose the right drone specifications for efficient results. Drones play a vital role in large-scale growing operations, providing accurate data analysis.When it comes to choosing the right drone, it depends on the payload and desired outcomes. Popular US drones with longer range capabilities are available, but payload compatibility is crucial.Don't forget to submit your drone questions on YDQA.io or join the Drone Launch Connect community for more discussions on the exciting world of drones.
