Drones in Agriculture 4.0
Introduction: The article is the product of the research project “Drones in agriculture 4.0”, linked to the Creinng research group, being a by-product of the research on the weather station, created as a tool for prevention and decision-making in the face of possible climatic events developed in Tibar Agro-environmental Unit of the University of Cundinamarca Sectional Ubaté -Cundinamarca in the year 2022.
Problem: Identify the different pests that affect forage (pasture crops) in early stages using drone technology, allowing to strengthen the development of different processes, especially agriculture based on image analysis through algorithms.
Methodology: Review on precision agriculture using drones to fly over the terrain in several countries, all these are research articles that cover mapping processes, image processing, all taken from official pages of univer-sity repositories.
Objective: Evaluate, through an image processing algorithm, the state of a grass crop, identifying the percen-tage of damage caused by pests using a drone for its detection, analysis of climatic behavior, using artificial intelligence techniques, focused on the search for strategies to the optimization of agricultural crops in the province of Ubaté.
Conclusion: The purpose of the project is to help peasants and farmers, through the use of new technologies, optimizing some processes, allowing the time invested in activities to be used in another.
Limitation of the project: The acquisition of a drone with sensor technology, camera and colorimetry of the grass leaves.
