Thesis Proposal

The idea is to divide the two major problems of the project:

1. Automatically take geo referenced photo, detect field and plan the path
2. Autonomous navigation algorithm for the UAV with Object Avoidance

Agricultural Field Detection and Path Planning for a UAV

1. Introduction
   1. Problem Description and Delimitations
   2. Goal: Autonomously create trajectory to scan a agricultural field
2. Methodology: Use state of the art technology to implement an automated solution
3. Geo Referenced Photo
   1. UAV Placement
   2. Shutter Impulse
   3. Lens correction
   4. Contour detection
4. Path Planning
   1. Physical Constraints
   2. Altitude Choice
   3. Motion Profiles
