Overview

We combine RTK-accurate drone mapping, thermal imaging, and analytics to help growers, ranchers, and land managers make timely, data-driven decisions.

Use Cases

Crop Monitoring

  • RGB imagery for overall crop condition
  • Early stress detection & scouting targets
  • Emergence & stand count snapshots

Irrigation & Water

  • Thermal-based water distribution checks
  • Leak & clog detection in pivots/lines
  • Identify over- and under-watered zones

Nutrient & Pest Management

  • Visual analysis to identify problem areas
  • Spot signs of pest/disease pressure
  • Tissue sampling guidance support

Soils & Terrain

  • High-res elevation (DSM/DTM) for drainage
  • Erosion & compaction indicators
  • Tile & ditch planning support

Compliance & Insurance

  • Storm, hail, frost damage assessment
  • Documentation for claims & audits
  • Field boundary & acreage verification

Ranching & Range

  • Pasture vigor & stocking insight
  • Tank/pond level monitoring
  • Fence & infrastructure checks

Workflow

1) Plan

  • Define goals (yield, water, inputs, compliance)
  • Pick sensors: RGB • Thermal
  • RTK/GCP plan for survey-grade accuracy

2) Capture

  • Flight missions tailored to crop stage
  • Consistent overlap for accurate mapping
  • Thermal passes for irrigation checks

3) Process

  • WebODM: orthos, DSM/DTM
  • Radiometric correction of thermal data
  • Point cloud & terrain for water flow

4) Analyze & Deliver

  • Actionable PDF dashboards & shapefiles
  • Interactive WebODM Viewer link
  • Seasonal comparisons

Deliverables
