Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to estimate the occurrence of a disease or pests on plants on the basis of indices that are suitable for cultivated land itself for which the occurrence of a disease or pests is to be estimated. An agriculture support system is provided with: an image capturing device (10e) that is provided in a multicopter (10) and that captures an image of cultivated land; a vegetation computing unit (20) that computes vegetation indices of plants being cultivated in the cultivated land from the image captured by the image capturing device (10e); an estimation unit (21) that estimates the occurrence of a disease or pests on the plants on the basis of a plurality of vegetation indices (Fan) computed by the vegetation computing unit (20); and a reporting device (22) that reports the occurrence of the disease or pests estimated by the estimation unit (21). The estimation unit (21) compares a representative vegetation index (Fan) of the cultivated land with a vegetation index (Fan) at a prescribed position in the cultivated land, and estimates that a disease or pests have occurred at the prescribed position when the vegetation index (Fan) at the prescribed position deviates from the representative vegetation index (Fan). The estimation unit (21) averages the vegetation indices (Fan) at a plurality of prescribed positions in the cultivated land and considers the average of the vegetation indices (Fan) as the representative vegetation index (FanR).
