Once again, very fast acquisition of accurate maps, in agriculture could be used to quickly detect changes in plantings by location and predict changes. Our own needs were to determine changes that would influence harvesting plans. Another use for drones.
Army Photogrammetry Technique Makes 3D Aerial Maps in Minutes By Devin Coldewey in TechCrunch
Researchers at the U.S. Army's Geospatial Research Laboratory in Virginia have developed a highly efficient photogrammetric method that can turn aerial imagery into accurate three-dimensional (3D) surface maps in near-real time without any human oversight. The Army’s 101st Airborne Division tested the system by flying a drone over Fort Campbell in Kentucky. The system was able to map a mock city used for training exercises. "Whether it's for soldiers or farmers, this tech delivers usable terrain and intelligence products fast," said Quinton King, a manager at TechLink, the Defense Department's commercial tech transfer organization. ...
