The use of hyperspectral data from UAV platforms in precision farming for scouting for crop diseases and weeds

In order to early and site specific detection of crop diseases and weeds in the field, a UAV multicopter, equipped with two hyperspectral cameras in the VIS and NIR spectral regions. has been applied for image acquisition. To facilitate precision spraying, the generation of relevant task maps were produced after spectral and imagry analysis. The yeild from designed test plots were also evaluated for different chosen PA/IPM cases.
