Yield Prediction

Step 1: Pre-Flight Planning (max 500 ha/day)

We begin by assessing your location and defining the survey area using satellite imagery and field boundaries.
Flight paths are optimised for efficient coverage and data accuracy depending on the survey type

Step 2: Drone Survey Execution

Flight Speed: ~15 mph
Flight Height: 100 meters
Coverage: ~1.12 hectares per minute
Details: Uses multispectral and RGB data to assess plant biomass, height, and density for yield estimation. Moderate altitude and higher speed for good spatial coverage.

Step 3: Data Upload & Processing

The larger the Ha area, the longer the upload and data processing takes. Whilst the process is largely automated it does require our judgment at certain key stages. These are typical times for upload and processing a 100 Ha: -

(4-5 hours) Upload imagery, generate an Orthomosaic, and apply vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI) to assess crop vigor.
(1-2 hours) Use the Zonation tool for canopy coverage analysis and yield estimation.
(30 minutes - 1 hour) Export maps and yield predictions for further planning

Step 4: Report Generation

Output/Report

Yield Estimation Map: Visual representation of predicted yield based on crop health indices.
Zonation Maps: Classified areas with different yield potential.
Orthomosaic: High-resolution field imagery used for analysis.
