RPAS-Based forest plantation health monitoring: an overview of recent progress

Résumé fourni par la source

The health monitoring of planted forests is essential for the planning, management and management of these areas, which are fundamental for the economy and ecosystem services. In this sense, this review explicitly focuses on studies related to the monitoring of commercial forests threatened by biotic and abiotic stress factors. Our objective was to examine studies related to the remotely piloted aircraft (RPAS) remote sensing data, methods and technologies used, as well as discuss scientific and technical advances that could further increase the potential of RPAS for forestry in the future. A systematic bibliometric review of articles published between 2015 and 2023 was carried out. In total, 29 scientific articles were obtained, where the results revealed the preference for multispectral sensors for monitoring biotic and abiotic stress. RPAS, with the integration of passive and active sensors, and associated artificial intelligence technologies, are excellent options for the development of monitoring the health of planted forests, as they allow the rapid and accurate acquisition of information, as well as the ability to predict potential changes. Finally, monitoring crop health and vigor through RPAS has proven to be effective and robust, as evidenced by the authors in their research.
