Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Uav) Based Remote Sensing for Crop Pattern Mapping, Turkey

Since the introduction of our lives, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been used for a variety of purposes in a variety of professions such as agriculture, forestry, industry and mining. Their superiority, such as high resolution, frequent measurement range, and relatively low cost compared to other remote sensing technologies, increase their chances of being used in agricultural areas. The aim of this study is to determine the crop pattern of the irrigation network using a drone equipped with the imaging system and to transfer this information to the parcel information system. Crop pattern was determined by UAV imaging, was processed in layout sheet of irrigation scheme and it was determined which channels served these parcels. In this respect, tried to help for irrigation management has tried to determine what channels work in the network and how much. Thereby determining water distribution activities accordingly and trying to help protect the water resources that are already inadequate. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), imaging technology, flight times, payloads, and data transfer speeds seem to have tremendous potential in carrying out such and similar studies.General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works Research-Development Projects Unit [2017-1]This study is derived from thesis of Ugur Evrim OZDEN who is MSc student in Namik Kemal University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences.
