Crafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Drone – Based Pesticide Application in Precision Agriculture

UAVs & Drones /

In the extensive, data-centric realm of modern-day agriculture, where satellite images and GIS mapping can detect each sown seed and each growing plant, drones have also become great champions of precision agriculture. These drones are not only producing high-resolution orthomosaics for assessing crop health. Drones for pesticide application come with many benefits, such as increased […]

How to Plan Accurate Drone Surveys with Ground Control Points (GCPs)

Photo & RS /

High-accurate drone surveys are fundamental to cartography, engineering design, and precision agriculture. Higher spatial accuracy results in maps, models, and measurements that more closely resemble the real world, helping professionals make accurate, data-driven analyses and decisions. To maximize the effectiveness of your GCPs, they must be properly positioned; having too few can lead to imprecise

Aerobotics in Africa: How Drones & AI Are Transforming Farming (with Ken Treloar

UAVs & Drones /

Agriculture in Africa is such a paradox. The continent boasts of some of the world’s most fertile land, a young, vibrant and dynamic population, yet on the other spectrum, agriculture is marred with many challenges as farmers continue to struggle with low yields, climate variability, pest & disease infestations, and limited access to reliable data.
