How to Fly an Agricultural Drone Mission to Accurately Identify Crop Species and Densities

Today’s show is about determining the best and most efficient workflow for flying drones in agriculture.

Our caller from today, all the way from Portugal wants to know the best and most efficient workflow for scanning agricultural fields with drones.

To help our caller out, we first explain the fundamentals of agricultural drone mapping. You will learn how crops emit a wide range of spectral densities, and how you can use multi-spectral cameras to “read” this data. And different software to accurately interpret it.

You will also learn about different drone laws and regulations that you need to be aware of if you are planning on flying drones in agriculture.

If already generating revenue from this lucrative vertical, listening to this show will give you some quick wins.
