Orchard Assessments
Our systems are able to present the client with photographic evidence in the form of Images, Infra Red Images, Video and IR Video.
All of these modalities are available in both surface based and sky based technologies.
Using all the available technologies can provide correlated information.
A “birds eye view” of the orchard at different stages of development can improve assessment of individual areas, especially if correlated with actual yield. Subsequent assessments become more accurate as a result of the historical data.
Infra Red Data correlates well with over- or under-watering and can also show up areas of poor drainage.
When IR images are obtained at the correct times of day, they may also be able to provide assessment of fruit load.
Visible light photography can show up areas of foliage discolouration as an early indication of nutritional imbalances.
