Unmanned Aerial Systems in Agriculture Eyes Above Fields
Coordonnateurs : Bochtis Dionysis, Tagarakis Aristotelis C., Kateris Dimitrios
Unmanned Aerial Systems in Agriculture: Eyes Above Fields bridges the gap between knowledge of concept and real-world use and operations of UASs in agri-production. Based on a valuable combination of themes presented at the 13th European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture, Food and the Environment (EFITA) and supplemented by targeted invited articles of key-scientists, this book presents a full-spectrum view of the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for agricultural applications. It integrates dispersed knowledge in the field, providing a holistic approach regarding UAVs and other UAS and their use in sustainable decisions.
The integrated approach of the book provides a fresh look on contemporary agriculture-related issues, following precision farming approaches, by educating on a range of different issues of remote sensing and its use in agriculture. Furthermore, the operational planning aspects for UAS in agriculture focus part of the book provides information that is missing from other resources.
2. Applications in agriculture
3. Operational aspects

5. Sustainability issues
6. Cost and energy analysis
7. Future trends
Dr. Aristotelis Tagarakis is a Researcher at the Institute for Bio-economy and Agri- technology (iBO/CERTH) with expertise in precision agriculture. Dr Tagarakis received MSc degree in “Automation in Irrigation, Farm Structures and Farm Mechanization and PhD degree in “precision agriculture form the University of Thessaly, Greece. In the framework of his PhD he worked as research scholar at Auburn University, Biosystems Engineering department AL, U.S.A., in the area of Precision Agriculture, variable rate fertilization and automated irrigation in maize. Also, he has been Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University, N.Y., U.S.A., leading the precision agriculture program. Before joining the iBO he was senior researcher at the BioSense Institute in Serbia. He has significant research experience working at various national, European, and other international projects.
