Abstract/Contents:"Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) equipped with both visual and multispectral sensors have improved the efficiency of data collection in turfgrass variety trials. Previous study introduced workflow and models to predict ground-level ratings using UAS-based measurements, but whether or not the models are sensor dependent is unknown. The objectives of this research were 1) to develop a general workflow and analytical tools for integrating UAS into the evaluation of turfgrass variety trials; and 2) to compare color and vegetation indexes obtained from two UAS platforms with different cameras and sensors. Flights were conducted monthly from September 2018 to September 2019 on bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.), zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.), and St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] variety trials. The general workflow included UAS flight (planning and conducting flights), image processing (generating orthomosaics), data acquisition (zonal statistics), data analysis (analysis of variance, multiple comparison, and genotypic ranking), and data visualization. Genotypic rankings based on turfgrass performance index, which sums up the number of times a genotype enters the top statistical group, were generated for each species. These analyses allowed the identification of treatments with high variability across replications, making it possible for the researcher to further investigate problematic plots. Genotypic rankings for each species during different time periods such as winter dormancy, spring green up, and drought were generated. In summary, regression models using two different UAS platforms to predict ground measurements such as percent green cover and NDVI were camera and sensor dependent."
