Monitoring Aerial Application Tasks and Recommending Corrective Actions

A computer system for recommending corrective action during aerial application, the computer system comprising:

• a bus system;
• a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device stores program instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the bus system, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to:
• navigate an unmanned aerial vehicle to a geolocation where an aerial application task is currently carried out;
• receive first sensor data from the unmanned aerial vehicle that characterize a quality of the aerial application task;
• determine measures to be carried out to increase the quality of the aerial application task based on the first sensor data;
• and
• output the measures while the aerial application task is ongoing so that the aerial application task can be adapted while the aerial application task occurs.

A computer program product for recommending corrective action during aerial application, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• navigating an unmanned aerial vehicle to a geolocation where an aerial application task is currently carried out;
• receiving first sensor data from the unmanned aerial vehicle that characterize a quality of the aerial application task;
• determining measures to be carried out to increase the quality of the aerial application task based on the first sensor data;
• and
• outputting the measures while the aerial application task is ongoing so that the aerial application task can be adapted while the aerial application task occurs.
