"can capture geospatial data on huge areas much more easily"
What are you referring to as a "huge" area? All the work I'm seeing done with drones has been limited to ~700ha/day, if you've got perfect conditions. Normally it's much less.
What do you think drones with heat or IR cameras are most applicable too? When we've got machinery mounted sensors such as a biomass/NDVI camera or a weed-seeker, and the machinery has to make a pass over the field anyways, why not have those sensors onboard the machine? We're seeing Weed-seekers pay for themselves in the first year of use.
