Aerial Imagery
Aerial imagery can expose a great deal about soil and crop conditions. The “bird’s eye” view an aerial image provides, combined with field knowledge, allows growers to observe issues that affect yield. Our imagery technology enhances the ability to be proactive and recognize a problematic area, thus minimizing yield loss and limiting exposure to other areas of your field.
Hemisphere GPS Imagery uses infrared technology to help you see the big picture to identify these everyday issues.
Digital infrared sensors are very sensitive to subtle differences in plant health and growth rate. Anything that changes the appearance of leaves (such as discoloration, curling, wilting, and defoliation) has an effect on the image. Computer enhancement makes these variations within the canopy stand out, often indicating disease, water, weed, or fertility problems.
Because of our advanced technology, aerial
imagery is over 30 times more detailed than any commercially available
satellite imagery and is available in selected areas for the 2010
growing season.
Images can be taken on a
scheduled or as needed basis.
