Study of KFB: The Benefits of Agricultural Drones

It's a time of surveying crops and we learned about the benefits of agricultural drones for farmers. We had a background of aviation and also model aviation. And, there's a potential of collaborating together. So, we did we built some aircraft for them. This is a brand new technology that's gonna really benefit farmers. The start of the computer industry of the UAV AG industry. We could develop this technology with Kansas State's help and focus on the benefits to the farmer. Make the technology work for the farmer! And so it would save them money the technology that it was a win-win situation.

We could start at Kansas based firm focusing on agriculture and robotic aircraft. The real benefit of this is not the aircraft the benefit is the images that the aircraft captures and the data that's created from that image. The end result can be a geo-referenced image or a prescription map. That's used in the chemical applicator so that will ultimately turn the nozzles on and off. So you apply the chemicals and material only where it's needed and as that at the right amount. It saves the farmer a lot of
money.

You can control this system from your smartphone or your iPad and while the aircraft's flying. This is a cellular modem that transfers the air the images from the camera through the cloud through to a server. And it processes these images so by the time the aircraft lands. The agronomist a farmer has the aerial image of their field in a format called NDVI that shows the health of the crop and so he can do ground truthing immediately after flight and to add to that the ground truthing displayed on your iPad shows an icon of where you're standing in relationship to the field so. If there's an area of concern in the field you can walk directly to those areas and ground truth.

DJI Inspire 2 vs Phantom 4 Pro & Mavic: Worth It?

We are going to be comparing all of the latest generation DJI drones. We have the in spider 2 here the Phantom in the magic and I'd say that this pro inspire 2 is to these 2 drones what maybe a professional DSLR is to an entry-level camera or even a cell phone camera. Now, if you plan on flying drones professionally I think by the end of this review you're going to want the inspire - it's got interchangeable lenses. It's more sturdy it's just an overall better build if you're an enthusiast or just want to drone for fun. I think that you're going to find let the Mavic or the DJI Phantom 4 Pro is more than enough drone for you? I actually found the Phantom to be way easier to fly. It pushed less wind around which means it was creating less like turbulence for itself. And it was smaller which meant I could fit in smaller spaces and I had more flexibility. But, the inspire here has a killer feature which is that you can hook up? Separate controllers for the p

DJI Phantom 3 UAV Used for Agriculture

We're going to put to the test a new DJI phantom 3 drone. And I can see these are going to be a really important tool for farmers and anyone in their agricultural industry. You'll be able to do things like checking troughs, checking tanks dams, making sure stock aren't stuck around the muddy edges along fence lines and of course if your lambing or carving you'll be able to send this out and just do a bit of monitoring of your stock. And agricultural drone will save you from getting into your diesel Utes and spending hours day after day checking these when you may not have to if there's not a problem leave the ute at home. And I think you'll recruit the cost of these in easily under 12 months in just fuel savings. I suppose so I don't end up putting it in the light or into a tree it's a simple Quadcopter 4 motors each of these motors actually spin counter rotating so one will spin clockwise the other one will spin anti clockwise that just helps pre

DJI Phantom 4 Features

Image
When DJI takes to the sky we break new ground. It's that simple. Every time we innovate it becomes the standard. Often imitated, but never replicated. our newest creation is all this and more. The Phantom 4 is an easy-to-use flying camera powered by the world's most advanced artificial intelligence technology. Now, all you have to do is direct it where to go. Here, let's take a closer. Look at this thing. It's a total redesign. Polished shell, vented composite core underbelly engineered for strength and weight. Sleek, refined, elegant. But there's tremendous strength in elegance. Look-a reinforced gimbal for greater stability. And the motors refined for increased flight efficiency raised so you can go faster without propellers poking into footage where they don't belong. That's gonna come in handy when you're going fast. How fast? That fast. We've added a new sport mode for more experienced pilots to get i popping shots or maybe just to bring out yo
