Areas of Expertise: Environmental Protection

You are invited to attend a lunchtime seminar on "Potential Research Applications for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) given by Mr Alex Higgins, Agri-Environment Branch of AFBI.

Mr Alex Higgins (AFBI) who will be presenting the February AFBI Lunchtime Seminar

The recent availability of technologically sophisticated, (though relatively inexpensive) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones) has opened up significant areas of research application. These devices can supply very high resolution imagery in true colour, infra-red and multi-spectral formats; this combined with their ability to operate in sub-optimum conditions, makes application in precision agriculture and crop monitoring viable.
