Abstract
An aerial monitoring system includes a base station having a controller and a user interface. The controller is configured to receive a first signal from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) indicative of a point cloud corresponding to a target object on a target agricultural tool. The controller is also configured to compare the point cloud to a model of the target object in a reference unworn state and to determine a state of wear of the target object based on the comparison. In addition, the controller is configured to determine an estimated cost to repair or replace the target object and/or a value of the target agricultural tool based on the state of wear of the target object. The controller is also configured to instruct the user interface to present the estimated cost to repair or replace the target object and/or the value of the target agricultural tool.
