Abstract
With the increasing population, the demand for food products is increasing day by day. The agriculture sector is adapting to technological reforms of traditional processes to maintain a proper balance between the demand-supply relationship. The intervention of the technology is resulting in the enhanced productivity of the agricultural process, and at the same time, it is also helping in the workload management of the farmers. In the last two decades, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have emerged as indispensable tools in modern agricultural processes. Drones and allied smart technologies are being used for a variety of applications in this sector. This work presents a comprehensive survey of drones in the agriculture sector. The latest trends in the usage of drones from agricultural viewpoints are discussed. The work emphasizes the drone’s architectures, sensor integration, and availability in the open market. Furthermore, the challenges associated with this technology are also outlined.
