Webinar | Multispectral and Thermal Sensors in Agriculture

Chile is a producer of cereals, fruits, and vegetables, considered one of the largest fruit exporters in the southern hemisphere.

In recent years, it has been affected by a national mega-drought, which has been observed in the annual water deficit. This new context has forced the industry to seek the optimization of its natural resources in the search to continue increasing its production.

Thermal and multispectral cameras are positioned as comprehensive solutions because their remote sensing capabilities can early identify areas affected by pests and irrigation problems, quantify them, and address them, optimizing resources and increasing productivity.

SPEAKER

Hernán Felipe Álvarez Cañas | Application Engineer Unmanned Aerial Systems geocom

Execution Engineer in Geodesy from the University of Santiago de Chile. In 2015, he began working at Digimapas Chile as a field operator, ending his time at this company in December 2016 as Team Leader, where he applied his knowledge of geodesy, topography, and cartography in the different activities and tasks he performed. In 2017, he joined Geocom S.A as a Support Engineer in Optics and GNSS, where he stood out for his versatility in GNSS solutions, such as site calibrations, RTK operation, as well as in scanning station solutions, such as structure inspection, tunnel control, among others. Since September 2018, he has worked as a UAS Application Engineer, where he stands out for his knowledge in advanced photogrammetry and for providing technical solutions for fixed-wing and rotary-wing equipment. He is certified as an instructor for Wingtra, Delair, and DJI Enterprise line. Since 2019, he began to specialize in Remote Sensing.
