Abstract
The present subject matter provides a technical solution for various technical problems associated with precision agriculture imagery. A technical solution for stitching together successive passes of captured images may include using multiple image capture devices, where the image capture devices have different fields of view. A first camera may be used to provide a first field of view (FOV), and may be configured to provide a selected ground sample distance (GSD) for precision agriculture imagery analysis. A second camera may be used to provide a wider FOV, and may be used to provide sufficient stitching process overlap between images captured in successive passes.
