To clarify the state of the crop and the formation of crop yield cartograms, it was proposed to use a vision system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The video information, which is accepted by the UAV's technical vision system, is transferred to the geographic information system (GIS) database. With the help of special mathematical and software, yield maps for each site are calculated and displayed on an electronic map of the area. It is shown that the use of vision systems on the basis of an unmanned aerial vehicle makes it possible to increase the efficiency of planning the routes of unmanned harvesting equipment (UНЕ), taking into account the features of the terrain and various obstacles in the way of UНЕ traffic. The possibilities of using special software for the production of the LDE - Land damage expert for determining the state and volumes of the crop on the basis of data obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle are considered. The principles of using and processing navigation and visual information in solving the main tasks of planning the movement of harvesting equipment and the flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle are described.
