Electro-optical system transportable in an aircraft (30) to automatically detect and identify surface plantations, the aircraft comprising a geolocation unit, and the system comprising: - a capture unit (10) that comprises at least one electro-optical sensor (11), where the electro-optical sensor (11) comprises optics to capture signals in the visible and near-infrared spectrum; - an inertial unit (23) for measuring the flight attitude parameters of the aircraft (30), where the flight parameters include pitch, roll and yaw; - an adaptation interface (24) to the aircraft (30) where the capture unit (10) is mounted to obtain a top-down view of the surface; characterized in that it additionally comprises: - a processing unit (22) to: - connect with the geolocation unit of the aircraft (30), - launch an alarm with the signals captured by the capture unit (10), - detect a plant among other plantations in the image, implementing a spectral detection technique for the image, and - estimating the geolocation of the plant from the parameters of the flight attitude and the geolocation of the aircraft (30); - a unit of environmental conditions (20) to measure the parameters of temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure; and - a communication unit (21) to serve as a bridge between the environmental conditions unit (20), the inertial unit (23), the processing unit (22) and the collection unit (10).
