Today, intelligent agriculture is developing with the advancement of electronic and information technologies. The key to access intelligent agriculture is data gathering and analysis. Therefore, data gathering is one of the fundamental actions to implement precision and intelligent agriculture. This paper aims to introduce the audience to the various data acquisition platforms such as satellite, aerial (manned and unmanned), and ground vehicle platforms and to present the features and limitations of each method based on technical and economic parameters. Technical parameters that influence decision-making include spatial resolution, spectral and temporal resolution, maneuverability, sensor variety, the extent of the covered area, and accuracy. Based on the results, all types of data acquisition technologies can be used in agriculture, and selecting the appropriate system should be based on technical and budget considerations, the availability of technology, the size of the region, and the object. By reading this paper, the audience can choose the right data acquisition system for their executive or research activities in the field of agriculture
