Introduction to Fruit Tree Mapping with DJI Agricultural Drones

Overview of the Mapping Process

• The video introduces the concept of fruit tree mapping using DJI agricultural drones, emphasizing optimal conditions for mapping on sunny days.

Preparing for Mapping

• The T-50 and T-25 drones can cover up to 5 hectares in a single flight; larger orchards require multiple mapping tasks.

• A thorough check of the orchard terrain is necessary before starting, ensuring no obstacles are present within a 30-meter vertical range above the task area.

Setting Up the Mapping Task

• To initiate mapping, empty the tank to reduce weight. Power on the remote controller, select "Fruit Tree Mapping," and add points by dragging a crosshair over desired areas on a satellite map.

• Plan takeoff and landing points within the mapping area; estimated photo count and flight time will be displayed as waypoints are added.

Executing the Mapping Task

Starting and Monitoring the Task

• After confirming all settings, select and start the mapping task via the remote controller. Photos will be transmitted in real-time for previewing during flight.

Emergency Procedures

• In emergencies, use control sticks to pause tasks. Post-mapping, utilize one-button Return-to-Home (RTH) function for safe landing.

Post-Mapping Adjustments

Modifying AI Map Settings

• After landing, select "Modify AI Map" to verify identification accuracy; adjustments can be made if results are inaccurate by setting AI elements accordingly.

Route Planning Modes

Standard Mode

• Automatically generates equidistant flight routes suitable for large orchards with uniformly planted trees.

Targeted Mode

• Generates routes that pass through tree centers, ideal for regularly distributed fruit trees.

Custom Mode

• Requires manual waypoint addition based on tree distribution; useful for orchards needing tailored route planning.

Advanced Features in Route Planning

Additional Settings

• Users can adjust route spacing (distance between adjacent routes), height above crops (drone altitude relative to treetops), and enable obstacle bypass features.

Flight Route Editing

• Complete editing before adjusting waypoint altitudes; any changes post-altitude adjustment will reset previous settings.

Finalizing Flight Parameters

Application Rates and Flight Specifications

• In standard modes, set application rates at 225 liters per hectare with droplet sizes of 100 micrometers at a speed of 1.5 m/s and height of 4 meters above crops.

Initiating Flight Tasks

• Once all parameters are confirmed, tap "Start" to check drone status before automatic takeoff begins.
