Drone Mapping & Precision Agriculture Guides
Practical explanations of the concepts behind agricultural drone mapping — how orthomosaics are built, what NDVI really measures, and how variable-rate application turns maps into savings in the field.
AI Variable-Rate Application Maps for Drones
How AI variable-rate application planning works in DroneField: index choice, crop zoning, dose suggestions, expert approval and export to your spray drone.
Drone Crop Monitoring: Flight Settings & Weather
Capture drone imagery that gives a clean vegetation index map: overlap, altitude, RTK, wind and cloud limits, SD card speed classes and a pre-flight checklist.
Drone Field Mapping: How It Works, Step by Step
What drone field mapping is and how it works, from flight planning to orthomosaic and NDVI maps: photogrammetry, georeferencing, accuracy and processing time.
Drone Mapping for Precision Agriculture
Comprehensive guide to drone mapping workflows for precision agriculture, from flight planning through analysis and decision-making with DroneField.
NDVI vs NDRE, GNDVI, EVI & VARI: The Complete Guide
NDVI vs NDRE, GNDVI, EVI and VARI explained, plus RGB indices like ExG: what each vegetation index measures, when to use which, and how to map them by drone.
NDVI vs NDRE: Which Index to Use and When
NDVI vs NDRE for drone crop mapping: what each index measures, where NDVI saturates, when NDRE sees deeper into the canopy, and how to pick the right one.
RGB Vegetation Indices: VARI, ExG, VDVI, NGRDI
NDVI without a multispectral camera? How the RGB vegetation indices VARI, ExG, VDVI and NGRDI work, where they fall short, and how to map them for spraying.
What is Orthomosaic Mapping?
Learn what orthomosaics are, how they're created from drone imagery, and why they're essential for precision agriculture field mapping and analysis.
What is Variable-Rate Application?
Variable-rate application (VRA) explained: how prescription maps from drone NDVI or RGB index maps drive precise input use, cut costs and even out crop yields.
