Drones or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are very useful for image acquisition. However, all the images acquired during a flight must be combined in order to create valuable information about a terrain or crop. There are many programs that combine images (image registration), each one with different properties (performance, precision, price, etc.). In this project some Open Source programs were analyzed in order to define the best software for Ecuadorian small and medium-sized farmers. The results obtained could be of interest for software developers since they may modify and integrate the programs into a simpler workflow. Additionally, it allows to reduce costs since no license payment are needed, which may motive small and medium-sized farmers. A public repository has been created as part of the results of this project, which includes code for pre-processing multispectral images and code for creating RGB, CIR and NDVI fused maps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
