Abstract
Remote Sensing (RS) is a tool that could help advance the application of spatial management techniques in agriculture. Unfortunately, it is often difficult for managers to acquire images. This project describes the development of a lightweight, low-cost platform for acquisition of RS images. The platform was based on a remote controlled aircraft that could be easily transported, hand launched, and retrieved in rugged terrain. The image acquisition equipment utilized small single board video cameras as well as digital still cameras with near infrared optical filters.
