Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are a group of aerial vehicles that include drones. Agriculture has always been the backbone of India’s sustained growth. Land surveying is the most challenging task in the agricultural field in terms of accuracy and time required for surveying using the traditional method. We have built a fully autonomous UAV and calibrated it for agricultural land survey purposes. The navigation and mapping process, in which a predefined path is provided to the UAV flight controller. During its autonomous flight, the drone's camera captures multiple images. Using a threshold-based segmentation method, the cultivated land and uncultivated land areas are determined using this system. Pre-processing of the images, land area segmentation, and post-processing of the images are carried out. The pre-processed image is divided into several distinct regions by applying a colour thresholding technique, which serves as the foundation for the segmentation of land. The results illustrate that the proposed method outperforms the existing method.
