Modern technologies and information tools can maximize agricultural aviation productivity by enabling precision application of agrochemicals. The authors review and forecast the state‑of‑the‑art in precision agricultural aviation, covering remote sensing, aerial spraying, ground verification, and future directions such as real‑time image processing, variable‑rate spraying, multi‑sensor fusion, RTK positioning, and UAV support. The review synthesizes existing literature on remote sensing, aerial spraying, and ground verification, and projects future developments in precision agricultural aviation. The review provides references for peers and encourages further development of precision agricultural aviation technologies. Int J Agric & Biol Eng 2017; 10(3): 1–17.
Abstract: Modern technologies and information tools can be used to maximize agricultural aviation productivity allowing for precision application of agrochemical products. This paper reviews and summarizes the state-of-the-art in precision agricultural aviation technology highlighting remote sensing, aerial spraying and ground verification technologies. Further, the authors forecast the future of precision agricultural aviation technology with key development directions in precision agricultural aviation technologies, such as real-time image processing, variable-rate spraying, multi-sensor data fusion and RTK differential positioning, and other supporting technologies for UAV-based aerial spraying. This review is expected to provide references for peers by summarizing the history and achievements, and encourage further development of precision agricultural aviation technologies.
