Estonian Grassland Management


The EbeeX fixed-wing drone is equipped with a dual RGB/thermal mapping camera rig operated by a professional remote sensing team/pilot to create high-resolution orthophoto and surface temperature maps of grasslands managed by livestock farmers. Farmers use such digital maps to plan grassland management and as communication materials; maps are also passed on to researchers and grassland specialists for further habitat assessment.
