Image Processing Coming From Agricultural Drones – IT Solutions, Legal Obstacles

The problem we tried to solve is related to directing agricultural production towards the active use of information and communication technologies. Specific research is based on the use of small drones in order to record agricultural plantations. Observed from the point of view of the application of information and communication technologies in agriculture, drones can serve as a good tool for collecting information on the condition of agricultural areas or the condition of crops in them, all without leaving the traditional tour of the observed areas. This solution brings benefits in reducing costs and benefits in terms of reducing the time required to tour large agricultural areas. When surveying agricultural land, both public buildings and buildings of national importance are often photographed, which can lead to legal problems. The aim of this paper is to focus on two areas of research. The first area refers to methods of processing images and video material obtained from drones, while the second area refers to legal regulations that must be followed and legal regulations that may be a limiting factor in the use of such devices.
