How to Make a Stand Count Mission?

Count your emerged plants in the field to estimate future yields.

Select "Stand Count" mission.

Select the pattern you wish to make the scout.

Statistically (Recommended)  - Divide the field into equal squares and take one picture from each square.

Full Cover - Full scout pattern on a whole area.

We are recommending the use of a statistical pattern since it's more efficient with time, and the final results are a 95% correlation to full field coverage.

Statistically:

Type the "Mission Plan" name.

Tip: When creating a new mission, name the task by the field and the pattern 
name. For example, Potato221.standcount.stat.
Finding it in the "Existing Mission Plan" option would be easier if you ever want to repeat that mission.

Adjust settings:

  1. Drone Height - Set the drone altitude by selecting the desired "Drone Height."
    Crop Height (Meters)
    Potato 25

    Tomato

    1-2 Week

    3-4 Week

    15

    Corn 15 
    Soybean 15
    Onion 10
    Cotton 15
  2. Adjust the "Sample Area Value." This option determines the square size of one sample picture.

Press on the black arrow to minimize the setting bar.

Drag the map on the screen and place the yellow square in the middle of your field. Then, please tap on the yellow square to paste it on the map.

The field will be divided into sample squares, and the drone will take one photo from each. On the top screen, you can see the number of photos (points) and the duration time of the mission.

Press on the black arrow to open the right bar.

Press on the "Let's Fly" button.

The pre-flight Checklist will open. Make sure all the check-boxes are marked with green V.
