“…The availability of multispectral and hyperspectral sensors on satellites allows cartographers to capture detailed information about land cover, vegetation, and environmental conditions. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones complement these technologies by offering flexible, localized data collection [52,53]. In addition, the increasing accessibility and affordability of satellite imagery have enabled researchers and practitioners to access and analyze geospatial data for various applications, such as environmental monitoring [54,55], urban planning [56,57], and disaster management [58].…”

This study provides a comprehensive overview of modern cartography innovations and emerging trends, highlighting the importance of geospatial representation in various fields. It discusses recent advancements in geospatial data collection techniques, including satellite and aerial imagery, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, and crowdsourcing. The research also investigates the integration of big data, machine learning, and real-time processing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as well as advances in geospatial visualization. In addition, it examines the role of cartography in addressing global challenges such as climate change, disaster management, and urban planning in line with the International Cartographic Association’s (ICA) perspectives. The study discusses the ethical considerations and challenges associated with modern cartography, including privacy, data security, and accessibility issues. Finally, it outlines future directions and opportunities in cartography, focusing on the potential applications of artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary collaborations, and open-source platforms. This discussion aims to emphasize the significance of continued research and development in cartography and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration for a better understanding of the world.

“…Typical approaches to support better positional information for UAVs include ground control points (GCPs), post-processed kinematic correction (PPK), and real-time kinematic correction (RTK) devices [14,15]. All these systems have been investigated in terms of accuracy, and it is clear that they can address the positioning requirement by achieving centimetric accuracy [16][17][18][19]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated whether the GNNS accuracy affects the photogrammetric reconstruction and therefore influences the sugarcane gap length.…”

Mapping Gaps in Sugarcane Fields Using UAV-RTK Platform

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a global real-time kinematic navigation satellite system (GNSS RTK) could be a state-of-the-art solution to measuring gaps in sugarcane fields and enable site-specific management. Recent studies recommend the use of UAVs to map these gaps. However, low-accuracy GNSS provides incomplete or inaccurate photogrammetric reconstructions, which could easily generate an error in the gap measurement and constrain the applicability of these techniques. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the potential of UAV RTK imagery for mapping gaps in sugarcane. To compare this solution with conventional UAV approaches, the precision and accuracy of RTK and non-RTK flights were evaluated. To increase the robustness of the research, flights were performed to map gaps found naturally in the field and with plants at different stages of development. Our results showed that the lengths of gaps identified by both RTK and non-RTK UAV imagery were similar, with differences in precision and accuracy of about 1% for both systems. In contrast, RTK was much more efficient and provides stakeholders with guidelines for accurate and precise mapping gaps, allowing them to make confident decisions on site-specific management.
