Automated drone scouting with any map
FieldMap Imports are Here!
The unique functionality has been designed to help save time crop walking by using drones. If you have a map of a field you want to walk and can photograph it or upload it on your phone, Skippy can interpret the map. This means any map can be used to take leaf level images of a crop with just a drone and a phone.
Using existing satellite, digital and printed maps, you can choose which fields to monitor and the app also has the functionality to store fields to be repeatedly monitored. It has even been tested with old printed water main maps, and it works perfectly. The points can also be saved and sent to your agronomist to review crop health throughout a season by comparing maps and yields year on year.
This feature is the first update to the app which was launched in March. “We plan to keep developing Skippy this year and in to 2021. We are finalising an automatic image analysis feature that will offer GAI, weed coverage percentage and unhealthy leaf percentage,” says Drone Ag founder, Jack Wrangham.
Field Maps makes it super easy to mark way points to yield maps or N-Sensor maps, even those flagged points you marked whilst out spraying. Being able to fly out to those exact points every time makes crop monitoring so much easier!
