Final Remarks
โข UAS-based remote sensing provides new advanced procedures to monitor vegetation,
soil and river systems.
โข The detailed description of such variables will increase our capacity to describe water
resource availability and assist agricultural and ecosystem management.
โข HARMONIOUS COST Action is supporting the definition of standardized protocols for
UAS-based applications to improve reliability of such technology.
โข Most of our results will be collected in the book โUnmanned Aerial Systems for
Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and Riverine Environments".
