Abstract
One or more images are used to analyze permanent cropland. The images can be obtained from one or more sensors on an aerial vehicle including, but not limited to, UAVs. The analysis of the permanent cropland includes, but is not limited to, analyzing the plants growing in the permanent cropland or analyzing the permanent crops growing on the plants. In one embodiment, the analysis can include estimating a total yield of the permanent crops where the estimated permanent crop yield is more accurate than the estimated yield obtained using traditional methods.
