The Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in Agriculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent technological developments used for precision agriculture. They provide high-resolution images taken from crops and when specific indices are applied, useful outputs for farm management decision-making are produced. The current paper provides a literature review on the use of UAVs in agriculture and specific applications are presented.

remote sensing tool for scientific research in the late 1970s. However, due to a variety of limitations (the weight and limited functionality of available sensors and cameras, the lack of GPS-guided autopilots and so on) these platforms had few practical applications (Przybilla and Wester-Ebbinghaus 1979; WesterEbbinghaus 1980; cited by Colomina and Molina 2014). For years, UAS technology was l...

متن کاملThe Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems in Marine Mammal Research
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, are finding applications in several ecological research areas since remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) technology has ceased to be a military prerogative. Fixed-wing RPA have been tested for line transect aerial surveys of geographically dispersed marine mammal species. Despite many advantages, their systematic use is far from a realit...
