Description

Today's show is about performing effective agricultural missions to identify crop species, densities and suggestions on best softwares to help with such missions.

Our caller for today, , is based out of Portugal and is wanting to know the best solutions to efficiently scan his fields for multiple crops that are being harvested. xxxxx would like to know what are some of the ready solutions that are available in the drone industry and how he can deploy them

We discuss the underlying science behind spectral densities and understanding how crops emit a wide range of spectral densities. These can potentially help pilots in identifying crops and their densities in a particular field. We also dig into the concept of using multi-spectral cameras on drones to influence imagery when flying over crops.

We discuss the software solutions in the drone industry and compare and contract their advantages and what would potentially be an ideal solution for agricultural applications. A final note on understanding regulations for the agricultural industry and how enforcement can potential inhibit innovation.

If you are working in the agricultural domain or are looking to enter into this soon-to-be mainstream domain, you do not want to miss this show!

We’re Drone U, a group of guys who have turned their passion for flight into a profitable business. We love hearing from our fans, and we love helping by answering their questions. That’s why we started the Ask Drone U podcast in 2015. Since then, we are one of the largest, most popular DAILY drone podcasts out there. Each episode features an actual question submitted from someone just like you! We wish we could answer everyone’s question(s), but we’ll do our best to get through as many of them as we can. So plug in those headphones because it’s time to learn together about everything drone: FAA, insurance, business strategies, videography, drone tips, flight techniques, drone tricks, expert advice, cameras, gimbals, and so much more. #askdroneu
