Management Zones Delineation in Olive Grove Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of aerial photos taken in a low altitude with UAVs (Unmmaned Aerial Vehicles) is recently becoming a common practice in many areas. The use for agricultural related applications is applied in this study, using a common vegetation index, namely NDVI, to identify areas of large differences in crops grown in order to delineate Management Zones to be eventually used for Precision Agriculture applications. A UAV equipped with an infrared camera was used to develop maps of NDVI in an olive grove along with ground measurements of NDVI, to provide ground truthing information. The results were used to identify areas of small or large differences and to establish Management Zones (MZs) for further evaluation and application of precision agriculture inputs.

Unmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing
Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
