Abstract

This work presents an unmanned aerial vehicle management platform encompassed in the concept of smart farming. Automates inspections of different \(\text {crops}\) and monitors the status of the plantation is done by IoT, analyzing an area on an online map that provides air and weather restrictions. Intelligent route management algorithms are employed to generate the optimal inspection route and waypoints, maximizing the multispectral images capture. These multispectral images can be subsequently processed according to algorithms based on phytosanitary index formulas and regressions obtained with artificial neural networks. Reports are generated with analysis of the results by this approach, for example: optimal collection time, water stress, maturity index, etc.
