Aurea Imaging uses unmanned aerial vehicles and sensors to monitor crops and optimize agriculture. They collect high resolution reflectance measurements from fields using drones equipped with various sensors like multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, and RGB cameras. This data is analyzed to provide farmers interpretable insights and recommendations to improve decisions around irrigation, fertilization and more. Aurea Imaging operates out of offices in Belgium, Argentina and Spain and provides its flying and data services to customers around the world.
