Synopsis :

This book, consisting of 8 chapters, describes the state-of-the-art technological progress and applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in precision agriculture. It focuses on the UAV application in agriculture, such as crop disease detection, mid-season yield estimation, crop nutrient status, and high-throughput phenotyping. Different from individual papers focusing on a specific application, this book provides a holistic view for readers with a wide range of subjects. In addition to researchers in the areas of plant science, plant pathology, breeding, engineering, it is also intended for undergraduates and graduates who are interested in imaging processing, artificial intelligence in agriculture, precision agriculture, agricultural automation, and robotics.

À propos de l?auteur: Dr. Zhao Zhang earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University. After conducting research as a PostDoc in USDA-ARS, he joined the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, North Dakota State University, as Research Assistant Professor. He is now a professor with College of Information and Electrical Engineering, China Agricultural University, working in the area of smart agriculture".
