Precision agriculture merges the new information technologies with agricultural industry. With a drone or
UAV we can capture highly accurate images of fields, covering hundreds of hectares in a single flight .Without cost and
hassle of manned services. And by using image processing we can then transform these shots into information and
systems that allow optimizing and customizing time, amount, and placement of inputs (seed, fertilizer, pesticides,
irrigation, etc.). Remote sensing techniques, mainly aerial imagery in the visible and infrared bands, have been employed
to achieve this goal. This article presents a state-of-the-art review on precision agriculture especially in remote sensing
sensors. This analysis is based on a literature research, an important contribution to this paper is a characterization of
high quality sensors and performance metrics to allow simple comparison between different types of sensors that can be
used by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV.
