In this study, we established consecutive monitoring methods using UAV in pecan orchards of 64 ha each, in San Simon, Arizona, USA. Activity monitoring, tree height map creation and ground surface temperature analysis of trees by UAV with near infrared (NIR)/TIR camera were conducted for pecan orchards in San Simon, Arizona, USA. Using established continuous monitoring methods, the UAV images of a 3-year-old pecan orchard showed circular traces of alfalfa cultivation prior to installation of pivot irrigation that was previously not observed. Tree growth measurements was compared to the trees planted inside and outside of the circle. Growth and tree health activity was found to be better when the trees were outside of the circle.

在这项研究中，我们在美国亚利桑那州圣西蒙的 64 公顷山核桃园中建立了使用无人机的连续监测方法。无人机使用近红外 (NIR)/TIR 相机对美国亚利桑那州圣西蒙的山核桃园进行了活动监测、树木高度图创建和地表温度分析。使用既定的连续监测方法，一个 3 年历史的山核桃园的无人机图像显示，在安装以前没有观察到的枢轴灌溉之前，苜蓿种植的圆形痕迹。将树木生长测量值与圈内和圈外种植的树木进行比较。当树木在圆圈之外时，发现生长和树木健康活动更好。
