Forum e-Agriculture Learning Activity on the use of Drones in Agriculture and Rural Development – 16 to 27 October 2017
Exercise 1: Experience capitalization
Hello Alice. My name is Victor Morales, I am currently in charge of the Tropical Forestry course at EARTH University. My experience is based on the use of remote sensors in unmanned aerial vehicles (spatial data collection, processing and analysis for decision making). We teach our students that there are "inexpensive" ways to do precision farming: we are adapting inexpensive remote sensors (https://www.mapir.camera/) on unmanned aerial vehicles (https: //store.dji. com / product / phantom-4). The platforms that link the remote sensors to the UAVs are designed and printed in 3D. For all, we make use of open programs or free access.
Part of our objectives is to teach our students to do digital photogrammetry, 3D mapping, generation of vegetation indexes, among others.
Greetings.
