[0002] With the development of agricultural intelligence, plant protection UAVs have been widely used in agricultural operation scenarios such as pest control and pesticide spraying. Traditional UAV spraying schemes mainly rely on fixed flight altitudes, equal dosages, and regular grid coverage, without fully considering key factors such as wind speed and direction disturbances during the actual spraying process, the influence of environmental factors on the movement behavior of droplets, and the growth status of surface crops.

[0003] In complex environments with high temperatures, low humidity, or strong winds, droplets are prone to evaporation or diffusion. The existing systems lack a droplet evaporation modeling and sedimentation trajectory prediction mechanism, resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of pesticides landing. Most use a constant nozzle opening and fixed spraying flow rate, without dynamically adjusting the dosage according to the degree of crop pests and diseases, which is not conducive to precision agriculture spraying. This application combines wind speed and direction, droplet movement, real-time image recognition, and dosage control to plan the operation of UAVs, improving the accuracy of pesticide spraying.
