Transforming drone data into crop management decisions
Would you like to have the power to gather precise, timely information about crops? Curious about how that is possible? Then join this online course to unlock the potential of drone technology!
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have become useful tools for optimizing crop management. They collect valuable spatial information that can help optimize yields while conserving precious resources.
Sensing beyond true colour imagery unlocks new possibilities for precision agriculture
Modern UAV platforms can host a range of sensors that collect different types of information. Each of these offers unique insights on crop health.
In this course you will learn about available advanced sensing approaches. You will discover what multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal and LiDAR sensing brings to precision agriculture.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand how different sensors operate;
- Be able to choose the most suitable solutions for your needs;
- Have the skills to interpret data from various sensors; and
- Learn how to design data processing workflows.
As you progress through the course, you will transition from theory to hands-on exercises. This practical experience will equip you with the skills to adapt analysis to your unique datasets and specific farming applications.
