Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based Agricultural Remote Sensing Multispectral Image Processing Methods

Abstract:

In order to provide more flexibility in remote sensing image collection, unmanned aerial vehicle has been used to kinds of agricultural productions. Images acquired from the UAV based RS system were very useful as a result of their high spatial resolution and low turn-around time. This paper discussed general methods to process the multispectral RS data at image process level. The distortion correction caused by sensor was introduced. The geometric distortion comprised sensor distortion and external distortion caused by external parameters. At last, the general image mosaic methods were discussed.
