Programación y optimización del vuelo de un dron orientado a la agricultura inteligente

Abstract

Precision agriculture’s main objective is to improve the efficiency of agricultural fields by using different technologies of data acquisition, transmission and processing, combined with multiple automated tools and systems. Two of these technologies are drones, thanks to its ability to overfly field while carrying sensors, and hyperspectral imagery, since the infrared information that it captures is useful to study the status of the cultivations. In this work, a solution to program and optimize the flight of a drone is presented, overflying a specified area while capturing images of it. This optimization ensures the quality of the images, and is programmed in a way that it can be used in future projects with another drone that will carry a hyperspectral camera.
