Digital Photography, Multispectral Scouting, and Seeing Beyond the Human Eye
Digital photos consist of pixels that create detailed images. Red, green, and blue color channels are combined to create Full-color images. Multispectral drones enhance aerial scouting by capturing additional channels, near-infrared and red-edge light, areas we cannot see, revealing plant health issues undetectable by the naked eye. This technology aids farmers in early stress detection,…
