What is Smart Agriculture Solution?

Smart Agriculture Solution is a solution that helps identify abnormal areas and lets you check vegetation using the Fast Field Analyzer dedicated software to quickly analyze flight data

recorded on the MSZ-2100G MULTISPECTRAL SENSING UNIT (camera, sensor unit) mounted on a drone.

Mobile device

Computer with Fast Field Analyzer

Flight path

Field flight images are quickly

stitched to be used to check

problem areas and analyze

vegetation status.

Point Of Interest (hereafter referred to

as “POI”) and Region of Interest

(hereafter referred to as “ROI”) can be

viewed in the viewer app.

GPS satellite/GLONASS satellite

(see Glossary)

Drone with MSZ-2100G

The camera simultaneously photographs

in the RED range (red wavelength

range)/NIR range (near infrared range),

and RGB range (visible light range).

A GNSS (see Glossary) signal is

acquired and position, altitude,

and attitude information is

added to recorded images.

Overlapped images are

efficiently captured.

Chapter 1 Overview : What is Smart Agriculture Solution?

005

Fast stitching

You can record images that efficiently overlap

the drone’s flight route on each side. Because the

process can be completed by capturing a minimal

number of images, the processing time for image

stitching is significantly reduced. After the flight is

complete, you can check whether or not the flight

and shooting was successful on the spot, and check

the status of vegetation.

Efficiently overlapped and photographed

Centralized management of multiple

farms

Using the Fast Field Analyzer specialized software,

you can define “Farms” (see Glossary) and define

multiple areas in the farm that you wish to stitch

together as “Fields” (see Glossary) for managing

vegetation analytics. Images recorded according

to the drone flight plan are stitched within the

scope of the field definition and displayed. You can

Generating stitched images

You can quickly generate stitched images from flight data recorded with the camera to check vegetation

status. You can set POI or ROI at spots or areas in your concern. It is also possible to show NDVI and RGB

images in side-by-side view.

NDVI color map

You can adjust the NDVI (see Glossary) stitched image

color to make it easier to understand vegetation status.

Stitched image

Flight data recorded by the drone-

mounted camera is stitched and displayed.

You can specify spots and areas of concern in stitched images.

Viewing original images recorded by

the camera

You can zoom in and display the original images

used for stitched images to view details of

vegetation status in areas of concern.

Compare past stitched data

In Fast Field Analyzer, you can compare past

stitched images and analytics results to view

trends in vegetation status. You can also compare

the surface area of abnormal zones.

Convert to data for creating

orthoimages

If you want to use flight data with third party

image processing software, you can convert it to

data for creating orthoimages (see Glossary).
