Cloud RTK vs. Base Station: A Cost Breakdown

The Smarter Way to Get Centimeter-Level Accuracy for Drone Spraying. If you've been spraying with an agricultural drone for any amount of time, you already know that RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) posi...

How to Export Variable Rate Maps for Spray Drones

How to Export Variable Rate Maps for Spray Drones

To export a variable-rate map, I match the file to the drone’s controller, set numeric rates and units, and check the imported mission before loading product. A map that opens...

Drone Fungicide Settings for Wheat Head Coverage

Drone Fungicide Settings for Wheat Head Coverage

I start with flowering stage and the product label - not a drone preset. For Fusarium head blight, I check for early flowering at Feekes 10.5.1, follow the label’s timing,...

Image Analysis Measures Drone Spray Droplet Sizes

Image Analysis Measures Drone Spray Droplet Sizes

I measure drone spray droplets with calibrated images - not pixel counts alone. I start with sharp images and a known scale, separate droplets from the background, then calculate their...

5 Spray Drone Specs That Affect Daily Acres

5 Spray Drone Specs That Affect Daily Acres

I compare spray drones by acres finished per day - not acres per hour. In a hypothetical 8-hour workday, covering 5 acres per cycle yields 160 acres with 15-minute cycles,...

Calibrating Drone Spray Swaths for Even Coverage

Calibrating Drone Spray Swaths for Even Coverage

I set drone pass spacing from measured spray deposits - not the farthest visible stain. My starting point: clean-water tests with cards across the flight path, at least 3 repeat...

CNN vs ViT for Aerial Pest Classification

CNN vs ViT for Aerial Pest Classification

I’d start with a pretrained CNN when labels or hardware are limited, and test a ViT when canopy-wide patterns matter. A hybrid is worth testing only if combining local detail...
