The invention discloses an 
orchard pest and 
disease damage general investigation 
system and method based on UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) 
remote sensing. The method comprises steps as follows: hyperspectral image data and RGB images of 
fruit tree canopies are collected by a UAV, and the collected hyperspectral image data is corrected; spectral reflectance, crown breadth, blade density and textural features of corresponding band images of the 
fruit tree canopies are calculated according to the corrected hyperspectral image data; size, shape and color features of fruits on fruit trees, color 
distribution law of the fruit trees and a three-dimensional view of 
orchard earth surface are calculated according to the RGB images; the spectral reflectance, the blade density and the textural features of the spectral images of the 
fruit tree canopies as well as the size and the color features of the fruits are input into a discrimination model, and identification of pest and 
disease damage of the fruit trees in the 
orchard is realized. Based on the hyperspectral images and the RGB images with more abundant information, the demand of high-frequency regular monitoring for 
insect situation information of the orchard can be met, and the general investigation efficiency of the pest and 
disease damage of the orchard is improved.
