The Leader in Agricultural Drone & Data Solutions HoneyComb Corp © 2016
AgDrone™ System
• 800 Acres in 1 flight
• Both NIR & RGB on board during every flight
• Durable wing with Kevlar exoskeleton
• Exportable data
800 Acres In 1 Hour
RGB/Visible NIR/NDVI
Maps for scouting/measure Crop stress detection
• Zoom Capability
• Images Georeferenced
• Automatically Triggered
• Export: JPEG, XML…
• Simultaneous Data Collection
Survey more acres in less time and see 100% of your fields
Mill Waste Damages Crop
Last year mill waste-composted material was dumped and
the natural occurring acid leached out damaging the crop.
Almonds Orchards – Pre-Bud Break
Almond Orchards – Zoomed In
Moisture pockets that have ground fungal growth
Almond Orchards
Pre-Bud Break
Nuts showing no growth, soil-moisture levels
Young Almond Orchard
Early bud break and leaf out.
Blue indicates moisture variations in the soil.
Green hues indicate leaf out.
Winter Wheat NDVI Image Map • Color patterning is consistent
across field indicating even growth and health pattern.
• Yellow along right boarder is
most likely due to lighting conditions and light upper level fog during flight. Would recommend field inspection to confirm.
• Top left red coloring indicates missing crop which was confirmed via aerial imagery.
• Yellow highlighted within the triangle shows an area of die off that looks to have been sprayed.
• Blue spot at far East edge of image indicates pooling water.
Practical and Actionable data
Tablet-based Mission Planning Fly During Winter
Flying during the winter months can deliver
significant data. You can learn where water, snow
and ice are building up. Ice and snow absorb NIR
so they show up green or white and the dormant
rye grass shows up red in this image. Late winter
flights can tell you when perennials are beginning
to grow again.
Figure 1: NDVI zone map of an Alfalfa field. Stressed areas were identified using aerial imagery from the AgDrone™ System.
See 100% of the field versus 10 to 15%
Figure 2: NDVI imagery used to show growth difference one month later. Image on the left was a March flight, while the image on the right is the same field in April.
NDVI Color Legend
Tablet-based Mission Planning The Dollars Of It
• Spray 25% to 50% less •Chemical costs drop • Labor & Fuel costs drop •Yields increase
Figure 1: NDVI image of a Hazelnut orchard. Stressed trees were identified using aerial imagery from the AgDrone™ System.
Healthier Crops - Yield Improvement
Identify Stress, Irrigation Problems, Damage & More… Scouting on foot is slow and covers limited ground
Figure 2: NDVI aerial image of a wheat field. Our system was able to detect the presence of a wireworm problem in the field.
Figure 3: Visible imagery used to check sprinkler line for adequate performance. The entire line was imaged during the flight.
Figure 4: A farmer used this imagery to get an estimated count of his squash in this particular field.
Market Scope & Impact Exporting UAS Data
This is what the data viewer looks like.
Our data files will work with your system.
We do not use a proprietary file formats.
Data goes into your variable rate systems.
Flight Data: weather, field size, flight time
Exports to Georeferenced files
TIFF, JPEG, SHP, KMZ…
Market Scope & Impact AgDrone™ Data and Variable Rate Equipment
More Knowledge Import to Sprayers Measuring Yields
Know more faster
Simplifies Decision Making
Reduces Input Costs (water, chemicals, etc.)
Zone Maps for Variable Rate
Upcoming Shape Files
Tune up yields
Reduce irrigation costs
