Skippy is a mobile app that can be downloaded for use on a smartphone.
Skippy will automatically fly your drone to selected points in a field and send you high resolution, leaf level images and a whole field overview.
Then Skippy analyses the captured images and sends you a field report, with % healthy crop, unhealthy crop, weeds and insect damage.
The whole process takes minutes, not hours.
