Surveying and Calculation of a Given Area using a Quad-copter

Abstract

The field of geometry has various applications and calculating the area is one of them and doing it manually is challenging and equally a daunting task. In this paper we propose a method to make use of a flying object with a camera to calculate the area. This can be achieved by augmenting the flying object with a camera that takes pictures and these pictures can be used and we can perform some operations to calculate the area of a given plane in an image. This not only saves time that an entity invests but also saves the amount of money he/she invests in the calculation of the area. We can enhance the calculation by incorporating much faster techniques and methods.
