Making Agricultural Management Decisions with the Phase One 4-Band Aerial System

A great opportunity to hear from Air Data Solutions (ADS) and how the use of the Phase One Industrial 4-Band Aerial system has boosted their business model.

When ADS realized the need to invest in a more robust, flexible system whilst ensuring continued use of their current fleet of aircraft, the compact size and weight of the Phase One Industrial Aerial Systems was the perfect match. Integrating this solution with their current aircraft enabled them to retain the lower flight altitude and lower operating costs compared to those of other larger aircraft, whilst still maintaining accurate GSD at efficient speeds. The increase in productivity has helped cover the initial investment in a shorter period of time than expected.

Having worked in agriculture for the past twenty years, ADS combined their passion for agriculture and flying, the company started as a supplier of simple aerial photography over agricultural areas, which has developed over the years to offer more sophisticated, reliable, and accurate analytical data to help farmers, managers, and land owners manage their properties. The 4-Band multispectral images help to spot troubled areas before they become visible to the naked eye, allowing land owners to take proactive actions.

The most recent acquisition of the Phase One Aerial System has offered ADS:

• More area of coverage with reduced flight time
• Wider Dynamic Range � Increasing the window of time for aerial imaging capture
• Obtain increased Ground Sampling Distance at higher altitudes
• Quick Return on Investment

Bridging Processes using Phase One Imagery for Agricultural Analysis

See How Paris Geospatial uses Phase One Imagery to determine Analysis criteria for multiple Crops.

Prior to Phase One imagery, satellite imagery was used but not effective in identifying the analysis criteria necessary for wise Agricultural decisions to promote healthy growth. (Satellite imagery can produce results applied to an entire crop, where Phase One Imagery can produce results related to the individual plants of the crop. – This is a key benefit for Precision Agriculture)

Some of the indicators for healthy plant growth that can be accurately derived from Phase One imagery and other software processes:

• Brightness Index (BI): Useful for soil mapping when vegetation is not present or is only sparse.
• Vegetation Vigor Index (VVI): Is used like NDVI is used; however, VVI is a soil adjusted vegetation index (not affected by darker and brighter soils behind the vegetation -- like NDVI is affected). Also, VVI has extended sensitivity at the top of the vigor scale and can be used to identify individual trees (sunlit side of each tree).
• Leaf Pigmentation Index (LPI): Usually serves as an indicator of Leaf Chlorophyll Concentration (LCC) for pixels where the VVI values indicate the presence of moderately-dense to very dense vegetation..
