Possibilities of small robotic UAVS for surveillance of agricultural areas in Southern Dobruja
Asparuh Atanasov
Abstract: Timely diagnosis of trends in the development of agricultural crops is essential for precision agriculture. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) allows us to quickly and accurately collect information about crops. The study tests the capabilities of a small aircraft in the fields of Dobruja, Bulgaria. We tested two small aircrafts with their built-in cameras and a near-infrared camera. An early diagnosis of a reduced vegetation index due to pathogens and a defect in the planter was confirmed. The obtained dependencies show the possibility of using aircraft in the agrometeorological situation of Dobruja.
