价格相对便宜的无人机装有先进的传感器,具备成像功能,为农民提供了增加产量、降低作物损失的新途径。酿酒师瑞安·孔德(Ryan Kunde)的家中的风景如画的葡萄园就坐落在旧金山北部的索诺玛谷中。不过孔德不是一般的农民,他还是一名无人机驾驶员,而且不是唯一的一个,他是一个前卫农民群体中的一员,这些农民使用曾经的军用航空技术,从空中拍摄图片,来种出品质更好的葡萄。这体现出使用传感器和机器人技术,引入大数据服务于精细农业的更广泛的趋势。 Affordable UAVs equipped with advanced sensors and imaging capabilities provide farmers with new ways to increase yields and reduce crop losses. The picturesque vineyard home to winemaker Ryan Kunde sits in the Sonoma Valley north of San Francisco. However, Comte was not a typical peasant. He was also a drone pilot and not the only one. He was part of a group of avant-garde peasants who used the former military aviation technology to take pictures from the sky and come Grow better quality grapes. This reflects the broader trend of using sensor and robotics to bring big data to fine agriculture.
