Abstract

This paper provides an overview of some existing methods of Earth remote sensing (ERS) using for agricultural needs. Special emphasis is placed on sensing with the help of UAVs. The paper describes the developed software and hardware complex for an aircraft-type UAV group. The proposed solution significantly increases the operating time and automates the process of monitoring agricultural areas. In addition, legislative restrictions on the use of UAVs are considered.
