Apparatus and method for providing wide-area precision agriculture service based on collaboration between heterogeneous drones

An apparatus for providing a service based on collaboration between heterogeneous devices, comprising:

• a memory for storing at least one program;
• and
• a processor for executing the program,
• wherein the program is configured to perform:
• collecting data captured or generated by the heterogeneous devices which form a distributed system across multiple locations;
• and
• performing processing and management activities conducted on the data including at least one of data monitoring, analysis, and combination to produce an output for the service,
• wherein the data monitoring is the process of monitoring service information after reconstruction of one precise large-scale image from sequential capturing of real-time data with data coordination,
• wherein the devices include a fixed-wing drone and at least one rotary-wing drone, and
• wherein the program is configured to perform:
• transferring first mission information including photo shooting mission for the entire farmland to a fixed-wing drone,
• receiving first drone data corresponding to the first mission information from the fixed-wing drone, and analyzing the entire agricultural arable land based on the first drone data, and
• transferring detailed mission information generated based on a result of analysis of the entire agricultural arable land to at least one rotary-wing drone.
