Autonomous Agricultural Analysis Drone

About the Project

We built a drone that can fly autonomously on a field and take geotagged photos with a Raspberry Pi Zero and NoIR Camera Module on it. As a team of two, we developed and used our own analysis software to take those geotagged photos together and used infrared data to estimate the health of the crops on the field, so we were able to make an estimation about the expected harvest amount and we were able to report the crop health with sufficient precision.
