T-Systems Hungary is currently developing a technology solution package based on aerial photography used in agriculture as part of its 'Drone as a Service' project. This aims to offer data and information gained from remote sensing as management support for farmers. A pilot project of the program looked at hatching rates of a 100 hectar rapeseed field. The technical concept includes drone-recorded images uploaded to a cloud database, where their pre-processing includes quasi-automatic image corrections, assembly and positioning on a map. The next step specifically supports decision making, providing so-called vegetation indexes to analyse data gained from imaging. This is followed by a suggestion with the help of an agronomist for the optimal tillage, for example by creating a location specific fertilizer use map.
