Documenting crop damage takes more than a few photos
Damage can spread across irregular patches, change before an assessment, and return to the same areas over several seasons. Bringing photos, measurements, and observations together makes it easier to explain what happened and where.
Ground photos show individual spots
Close-up images record useful details but may not show the full affected area or its position within the field.
Earlier conditions are missing
Without a previous survey, it can be harder to show how the field changed after an event.
Boundaries are difficult to measure
Irregular patches of flattened or disturbed crops can be hard to outline and measure consistently from the ground.
Records are spread across seasons
Photos, observations, and measurements stored separately make recurring damage harder to review.
Conditions change before review
Recovery, further damage, or field work may alter what an assessor or advisor can see later.
Bring the imagery, affected boundaries, and observations into a record that others can examine.
Map the affected areas while damage is visible
Upload drone imagery for processing or import a supported orthophoto. Review the field from above and draw polygons around visible areas of damage.
Name each zone and inspect its area measurement. Refine boundaries by adjusting polygon vertices, and add Notes at locations where field observations help explain what the imagery shows.

Put crop damage in its field and parcel context
View your field survey alongside available parcel boundaries and identifiers to show where the affected areas sit. Keep marked damage visible within the wider field so reviewers can understand its location and extent.
Bring the imagery, measurements, and parcel context into the same view to support discussions with farmers, landowners, and assessors. Give everyone a clear reference for the areas being reviewed.
Prepare the record for review
Export a PDF measurement report with the measurement information and map view. Check the boundaries and results before sharing the report with a landowner, advisor, assessor, or insurer.
You can also give relevant people project access to examine the available surveys and Notes in their browser, without an additional license fee for each user.

Solutions
Frequently asked questions
How can AVAG help document crop damage?
AVAG lets you review field imagery, draw boundaries around visible damage, and measure the affected areas. Add location-based Notes, compare available survey dates, and prepare PDF measurement reports. This brings the visual record and your observations together for others to review.
What kinds of crop damage can I document?
You can document damage that is visible in the captured imagery, including affected areas associated with wildlife, wind, or flooding. Visibility depends on the crop, capture timing, image quality, and field conditions. Imagery can show the visible condition, while field observations help explain its context.
What data formats does AVAG accept?
AVAG works with data from most drone platforms and common photogrammetry workflows, so there is no need to change your existing capture setup. If you already process data externally, AVAG imports outputs from Pix4D, Agisoft, 3DSurvey, and DroneDeploy, accepting TIFF orthophotos and DSMs, LAS and LAZ point clouds, and mesh data as a ZIP package containing JPG, OBJ, and MTL files. For raw imagery, AVAG accepts standard RGB JPG files, high-resolution grid photos from Mavic 3E, 360° panoramic images, and imagery captured with or without GPS, all processed directly within the platform. For map visualization and overlay, AVAG supports CAD drawings, WMS services, 3D models, DXF, TXT, CSV, Shapefile, and PDF formats. Any coordinate system is supported, with no reformatting required when switching between client projects or data sources.
Does AVAG identify damaged crops automatically?
You identify visible damage in the imagery, draw its boundaries, and use the measurement tools to inspect its extent. This workflow relies on your review of the captured conditions. It does not automatically detect damage, diagnose crop problems, or calculate yield loss.
Do I need a survey from before the damage?
You can document the current visible condition without an earlier survey. A previous capture provides a baseline for comparison and can help show what changed. Later captures can add a record of recovery, further damage, or subsequent field work.
How are affected areas measured?
Draw a polygon around the visible affected zone and inspect its horizontal area measurement. You can refine the boundary by moving, adding, or deleting vertices. Measurement quality depends on the survey data and how accurately the boundary represents the visible damage. Area measurements describe the outlined extent; they do not calculate the financial value of crop loss.
Do I need to own a drone?
No. You can work with a drone service provider who captures the field and supplies imagery or supported processed outputs. AVAG can process suitable drone imagery or import a supported orthophoto from an existing processing workflow.
Can I share the project with an advisor, landowner, or assessor?
Yes. Invite the relevant people with appropriate access rights so they can review available field surveys, measurements, and Notes in their browser. AVAG supports unlimited users without additional per-seat fees, allowing everyone involved to refer to the same project record.
