Animation on "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Agriculture" produced by students of the Wageningen University

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Agriculture from CTA on Vimeo.

This video animation has been produced by students from the Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing ate the Wageningen University and Research Centre in the context of the GRS-60312 Remote Sensing and GIS Integration Consultancy Project. Their report 'Towards Cost and Benefit Analysis of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to Support Agricultural Production' is synthesized in this well crafted video animation.

Members of the study group include: Vinicius Perin, Ramin Heidarian, Simon Veen, Erwin Van den Berg and You Zhou. Coach: Sytze de Bruin

Those interested in the technology related to the use of drones or better "unmanned aerial vehicles' in the agricultural domain should join the dedicated discussion list www.uav4ag.org.
