Agricultural systems are changing quickly, and modern tools are essential to maximize productivity. To make informed decisions, farmers and researchers need the help of agricultural tools to provide them with accurate and precise input data.
Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), are one such tools.
Using drones for agricultural research requires careful planning and clear procedures to derive useful and reliable data. This manual provides a step-by-step guide for researchers and drone operators, from preparing for a flight to collecting and analyzing images. Furthermore, this manual promotes safety, consistency, and high-quality data collection processes.
