Precision agriculture aims to use technological tools for the agro-food sector to increase productivity, cut labor costs, and reduce the use of resources. This work takes inspiration from bees vision to design a remote sensing system tailored to incorporate UV-reflectance into a flower detector. We demonstrate how this approach can provide feature-rich images for deep learning strawberry flower detection and we apply it to a scalable, yet cost effective aerial monitoring robotic system in the field. We also compare the performance of our UV-G-B image detector with a similar work that utilizes RGB images.
