Abstract:
Aerial imagery may be captured from an unmanned aircraft or other aerial vehicle. The use of aerial vehicle imagery provides greater control over distance from target and time of image capture, and reduces or eliminates imagery interference caused by clouds or other obstacles. Images captured by the aerial vehicle may be analyzed to provide various agricultural information, such as vegetative health, plant counts, population counts, plant presence estimation, weed presence, disease presence, chemical damage, wind damage, standing water presence, nutrient deficiency, or other agricultural or non-agricultural information. Georeference-based mosaicking may be used to process and combine raw image files into a direct georeferenced mosaic image.
