After a few tests by looking at the images taken it was discovered that if the drone is flying 70-100 metres high, then the GCPs did not have to all fall inside the mission area as planned ( Figure 6 ), as the field of view from the drone camera was bigger than the mission area covered and would capture these GCPs ( Figure 9 ).

Figure 9. After a few missions flown it was realised that the GCPs could be further spread out from the flight mission area.
