Unmanned
Aerial Systems in Agriculture: Eyes Above Fields bridges the gap between
knowledge of concept and real-world use and operations of UASs in
agri-production. Based on a valuable combination of themes presented at the
13th European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and
the Environment (EFITA) and supplemented by targeted invited articles of
key-scientists, this book presents a full-spectrum view of the use of unmanned
aerial systems (UAS) for agricultural applications. It integrates dispersed
knowledge in the field, providing a holistic approach regarding UAVs and other
UAS and their use in sustainable decisions.
The
integrated approach of the book provides a fresh look on contemporary
agriculture-related issues, following precision farming approaches, by
educating on a range of different issues of remote sensing and its use in
agriculture. Furthermore, the operational planning aspects for UAS in
agriculture focus part of the book provides information that is missing from
other resources.
