Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Precision Agriculture Mapping. The aim of this study is to explore the potential benefits of using UAVs and GIS technologies in agriculture for improved precision mapping and decision-making. The integration of UAVs and GIS offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for gathering high-resolution spatial data in agricultural fields. This research seeks to investigate the methodologies and techniques involved in utilizing UAVs and GIS for precision agriculture mapping, with a focus on enhancing crop management practices and optimizing resource allocation. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two, examining the existing studies, methodologies, and technologies related to UAVs, GIS, and precision agriculture mapping. This review will provide a solid foundation for understanding the current state of the field and identifying gaps that this research aims to address. Chapter Three will focus on the research methodology, detailing the steps involved in data collection, processing, and analysis using UAVs and GIS technologies. The methodology will include the selection of study areas, UAV flight planning, data acquisition, georeferencing, image processing, and spatial analysis techniques. In Chapter Four, the research findings will be presented and discussed in detail. This chapter will analyze the data collected through UAVs and processed using GIS tools to generate precision agriculture maps. The discussion will include the interpretation of the results, comparison with existing literature, and implications for agricultural practices. The final chapter, Chapter Five, will provide a conclusion and summary of the research project. This chapter will highlight the key findings, contributions to the field, limitations of the study, and recommendations for future research. The conclusion will also emphasize the significance of integrating UAVs and GIS in precision agriculture mapping and its potential impact on sustainable agriculture practices. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the integration of UAVs and GIS for precision agriculture mapping. By harnessing the capabilities of these technologies, farmers and agricultural practitioners can make informed decisions, optimize resource management, and improve crop yield and quality.
