Abstract
The use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in precision agriculture applications has increased in the last three years. This is mainly due to the UAS capability to provide the farmers with important information related to crop health for a better input management. This allows the constant growth resource optimization, an underlying issue for farmers. Furthermore, UAS are relatively cheap in comparison with manned aircraft or satellite-based systems, they are also small and easy to use. All these facts promote the growing popularization of agriculture UAS. In this paper an easy-to-implement and low-cost system is proposed for basic agriculture tasks, such as NDVI computation and crop imagery collection.
