Farmers and nature managers need frequent, high-resolution images to monitor crops and landscapes, but satellite imagery is often obscured by clouds or lacks sufficient detail. The Bioscope project aims to develop an on-demand aerial imaging service using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to capture images when satellites are unable to due to clouds or timing issues. This combined UAS and satellite service would provide users with more reliable, robust and tailored imagery to improve agricultural and conservation efforts.
