Apparatuses and methods for bio-sensing using unmanned aerial vehicles

This is a system that uses a drone to monitor crops. The drone is equipped with a special camera that captures detailed light information (hyperspectral images). It works with a small computer located nearby to instantly analyze these images while the drone is flying, only sending back data about crop areas that are not in a healthy or expected state, including their exact location.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread edge AI processing and 5G/6G wireless communication. These advancements directly address the 2016 constraints of limited onboard processing, power, and wireless bandwidth for real-time hyperspectral data analysis.
