Automated evaluation of agricultural damage using UAV survey

Abstract

Abstract In the last decade modern agriculture used significant resources for automated evaluation. Game damage and crop evaluation and prediction are the main focus of the precision agriculture. At John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics, Óbuda University, Hungary, researchers together with agricultural experts are developing automated evaluation methods for high-resolution survey data. With the locally developed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) the agricultural survey can be easily done for 1-2km2 area from a single flight. The paper presents the detailed method of the early steps of the automated evaluation using Matlab and the comparison of results to the GIS data.
