Abstract
The present subject matter relates to systems, devices, and methods for data-driven precision agriculture through close-range remote sensing with a versatile imaging system. This imaging system can be deployed onboard low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and/or carried by human scouts. Additionally, the present technology stack can include methods for extracting actionable intelligence from the rich datasets acquired by the imaging system, as well as visualization techniques for efficient analysis of the derived data products. In this way, the present systems and methods can help specialty crop growers reduce costs, save resources, and optimize crop yield.
