Douglass began his KAP experience in 1998, when he visited Emporia State University, Kansas to practice basic KAP methods with J.S. Aber. The success of this venture led to further efforts to develop KAP equipment and techniques suited for crop-scouting applications. Douglass currently employs a Fujifilm 700 digital camera (1280 by 1024 pixel resolution) and plans to use a 1600x1200 camera soon. A digital camera has the advantage of returning images "instantly" for analysis in the field and quick consultation with farmers. As far as we are aware, this is the first and only use of kite aerial photography for precision agriculture in the country.
