Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) have several advantages over conventional remote sensing techniques. UAV can acquire high-resolution images quickly and repeatedly with a comparatively lower flight altitude i.e. 80~400 m nullifying the effect of extreme weather and cloud. This study discussed the use of low cost-effective UAV based remote sensing application in inspection of agricultural subsidy. The study area accrue 60.5㎢ of Buljeong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungbuk in South Korea. UAV image acquired 25 times from July 25 to August 11, 2015 for 3 days. It is observed that almost 81.1 % (3,571 of 4,410 parcels) parcels are truthful whereas some parcels are incorrect or fraudulent. Surveying with UAV for agricultural subsidy instead of field stuff can reduce the required time as much as 64.8 % (19 of 54 days). Therefore, it can contribute significantly in speedy and more accurate processing of grant application and can end unfair receipt of the grant which in turn will improve customer satisfaction.
