Digitization of agricultural land using an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

Using an unmanned aerial vehicle Geoscan 201 Agro, 20,286 hectares of agricultural land were surveyed in Tyumen and Sverdlovsk regions, where 206 fields were with an area of 5,552 hectares. Creating electronic maps when piloting an UAV is a more accurate, operational method in comparison with the use of the circular tour method and the use of a space satellite. It allows getting the geographical coordinates of the boundaries of the field, calculating its area, forming orthophotomaps and an electronic image of the fields.
