This manual outlines the procedures to perform direct and indirect georeferencing, compass, IMU, and vision sensors calibration of UAV platforms, planning and execution of flight missions.

Additional procedures are the processing of collected drone imagery to generate orthomosaics, digital surface models, and extraction of plant phenotypic features.

Blank pages are also included at the end of each chapter for taking notes. (80 pages, 2 figures, 3 checklists)
