Mapping and Spraying Fields with Mavic, Pix4D, and T50

[@Agriculturefarming05]

Thank you mr Taylor 👍

[@PetydeNecro]

Hey Taylor, great video! 👍 Do you have any info on the max number of plots that can be linked together druring a multiplot operation? Thanks and keep those vids coming!

[@avionaaero]

Thanks for the demo. The only problem with pix4D is the price. Otherwise, better than Terra in many ways. Actually, could You maybe do comparison with Terra?

[@AgriSprayDrones]

That's a great video idea!

[@soaringsisters9169]

Yes Pix4D is just too expensive

[@robblanco8595]

Good comments. Price is relative though. Having used Terra and seen Pix4D, I can see the value of the later, What version of Pix4D is being used in this video?

[@brentmalpass8591]

Is it possible to create spot spraying missions like this just using the drone controller? can you create smaller fields and the T50 will spray each area?

[@rexweatherford8386]

Im new to this but it seems that at some point it might be good to match cell size to spray width? That would simplify the patterns and coverage areas for the automated flight paths?

[@AgriSprayDrones]

You can get as scientific and as exact as you want! This was a quick overview but there are certainly ways to optimize this process.

[@billkuper206]

Can this also be achieved with DJI SmartFarm (in lieu of Terra)?

[@AgriSprayDrones]

SmartFarm has similar functionality. Maybe we'll do a video comparing the two at some point!

[@MrMaddox1995]

Do you have any videos on ortho gsd numbers?

[@riksterblanche340]

Hold on, how did we decide that the lighter areas are areas with weeds??

[@AgriSprayDrones]

That was the case in our scenario, but lighter areas could also be due to poor crop nutrition, insect damage, etc.

Can we do this with phantom 4 rtk?

[@AgriSprayDrones]

You sure can!

[@RyanWatsonASD]

You can use just about any drone that takes pictures and records the position of each picture. Biggest difference you want to watch out for is that of different cameras. Meaning the better the camera on the drone, the more detail you will have in your overall processed image on Pix4D or a similar platform. (There's a list on Pix4D's website of compatible drones and camera systems if you wanted to know more specifics!)

[@riksterblanche340]

Also, spraying the "demo" areas 1,2 and 3. It sure is smart that the drone can change the flight direction for each little demo area for efficiency, but spraying with these drones have to be done perpendicular to wind direction so how does that work?

[@AgriSprayDrones]

You can manually change the flight direction, but on long, skinny paths, it can become difficult if it's windy. In that case it may be necessary to wait for a low-wind day.
