technologies to carryout field scouting and surveys in agricultural
commodities. In a feature article in the
October 2014 issue of Growing Georgia,

Drones & Trees: A free quarterly newsletter by the image-analysis
company Intelescope Solutions Ltd that contains very readable reports (usually
4) about operational remote sensing, use of drones, digital imaging, etc. focused on forestry applications. The article “A View from Above: Using Tree Crown Measurement for Early Intervention
and Inventory, Article 1 in the October 2014 newsletter continues this
trend. Check it out at at http://www.intelescope.com/en/sustainability/newsl3art1_2014/.
Previous newsletters have contained articles titled:
- Satellites, Manned Aircrafts, UAVs – Pluses
& Minuses of Image Sources
- How to Select the Right UAV for Your Forestry
Application
I am not promoting Intelescope, but I do find their
newsletter to contain some useful information that you might also find of
interest.
