Drones have a BRIGHT future in farming.
No longer do you have to rely on costly, time-intensive methods of collecting aerial crop data such as satellite imagery or manned aircraft.
We want to make leveraging a drone easy. Leave the flying and processing to our experts. Avoid the hassle with flight regulations, liability insurance, expensive hardware and software.
SKYDEPLOY will plan, arrive, fly, capture, analyze and deliver.
Using plant health algorithms, we can identify key areas of crop stress and diagnose problems such as pests, disease, irrigation or fertilizer issues, and more. Once we provide you with a complete picture of what's happening in your field, you can work with your agronomist to diagnose and treat issues quickly and effectively.
we capture and deliver actionable crop intelligence. on Demand.
Raw map captured from drone, not much is visible. There isn't much information we can see without using computers to analyze the information captured by the image.
Qualitative
Using computer vision we can run more specific analysis which looks for:
Plant Disease
Water Stress
Plant Stress
Irrigation and Drainage Issues
Ground Elevation
Anticipated Crop Yield
how does it work?
Healthy plants reflect more NEAR INFRARED LIGHT.
Pre-emergence image of winter wheat.
Quantitative
Information which is measurable allows for:
Plant Population Reporting
Stand Count Analysis
Weed Identification
Pest Detection
Flowering Estimations
Tree Population Reporting
Estimate Crop Loss
It's simple; plants show us their health
Plants that are healthier tend to reflect more green light than red light, which is why they look green. Plants also reflect near-infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected with near-infrared sensors.
We use sensors that measure how much NIR each plant in the field reflects and from that we can determine plant vigour.
What we know is that NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) has been trusted since it's first use in satellites through the early 60's. NDVI is a effective way of measuring plant health.
