UAV for Mapping

Knowing the oil palm tree in a large oil palm is important. It can be used to estimate the amount of fertilizer required for each year. Counting from satellite data or from photograph from uav platform is more accurate the from counting on the ground. Since the palm is planted in triangle pattern, one could be confusing during the counting activities. Thus, the best solution is using based on uav or high resolution satellite data.

Besides uav data is used for palm tree counting, the data is useful for other plantation activities. Further contact Dr Laili

UAV SERVICES FOR OIL PALM PLANTATION

Knowing the number of palms in a plantation give several advantages to  plantation owners and plantation investors or buyers. There are several factors used to estimate the yield production of a plantation. The main factor is the total number of palms in the plantation, and it followed by factors of  palm age and soil type. The oil palm planted on  organic soil, in coastal areas produce higher yield than on mineral soil in the inland areas. In addition, plantations in coastal areas have higher palm density than in inland areas.

By knowing palm density, the plantation owners could estimate the total amount of fertilizer to be purchased and apply to their plantation for each year.

Therefore, the fastest and high accuracy method of knowing the number of palm in each block in a plantation is to use remote sensing from satellite platform or  from UAV platform. However, in tropical areas like Malaysia, getting remote sensing data from satellite platform is quite unpredictable, due to cloud cover 60-80 percent of the year. The alternative is to use remote sensing data from uav platform. GEOPRECISION TECH SDN BHD provides the following services for oil palm plantation:

      1. Capturing remote sensing data using UAV platform 
      2. Counting of oil palm tree based on remote sensing data from UAV platform.  
      3. Monitoring plantation hydrology, mapping plantation landuse       
      4. Mapping plantation topography (contour mapping)       
      5. Plantation design and field planning (for replanting and new plantation)
