Soccer field at Rossville High School
Images collected by John Scott, Digital Agriculture Extension Coordinator, Purdue Extension
A stitched orthomosaic image (left) and a plant health image (right) show machine- and human-wear patterns on the field. Wear patterns identify areas in need of management. After the first flight, it appeared the top half of the field was heavily worn, an atypical finding that could have resulted from a camera error. The field was flown multiple times with several settings, and the same patterns emerged each time. We presented this to a group of students on the soccer team, and given their practice tendencies, corroborated this trend.
