Who is This course is designed for
This course is the first step for those wishing to use Drones/RPAS/UAV’s for Precision Agriculture, Farming and Crop Management. Drones have a unique advantage in being able to provide both live and post processed data from a range of sensors, boasting an impressive productivity boost, the latest technology and software are incorporated into this innovative workflow. This course will cover the theory behind NDVI, how sensors like RGB, NIR and IR work to provide vital data on crop health, moving on to how acquiring data sets through automated missions on different RPA platforms, and post processing software assess plant conditions, finishing with an automated, efficient and intelligent Agricultural UAV Type training, for precision spraying over the previously assessed crops/fields.
The breakdown:
- Theory
- Practical- 2Hrs of flight training
- Field tests
