1. Multispectral Imaging and Elevation Mapping from an Unmanned Aerial System for Precision Agriculture Applications

As the world population continues to grow, the need for efficient agricultural production becomes more pressing.  The majority of farmers still use manual techniques (e.g. visual inspection) to assess the status of their crops, which is tedious and subjective.  This paper examines an operational and analytical workflow to incorporate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the process of surveying and assessing crop health.  The proposed system has the potential to significantly reduce...
