remotely controlled aircraft with an attached digital camera is
that a great number of images look alike and unless a large
number of natural features or artificial targets are present at
the location, it was hard to identify and orientate the images.
This paper investigates the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) for use in agricultural applications. Trials were
conducted, in collaboration with researchers from the Australian
Research Centre for Aerospace Automation (ARCAA) - Queensland
University of Technology (QUT), on the ability of the UAV
autopilot to accurately trigger the
