This paper presents a mobile app developed to optimize the drone flight in a precision agriculture scenario. The Android platform was chosen, once it have free tools for development and there are many different API that could be used to solve this problem. For map presentation, as well as geocoding manipulation, Google tools were used. For the optimization, an algorithm based on recursive auctions was used, which has the characteristic of finding feasible solutions even in complex scenarios. The app has been tested and achieved feasible results for large scenarios with over a thousand waypoints in just few minutes, even running on a mobile device. It highlights the mobile app, and the recursive auction algorithm, it is an important solution for drone flight optimization in rural areas, where thereis usually no possibility to run the application on traditional computers, as usually there is no access to the Internet.
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.
