Previous research have shown the advantages of a novel Technical Vision System (TVS), developed at the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC), which uses triangulation to determine spatial coordinates on any object under observation. Present paper proposes a new application for the TVS use on drones with remote laser scanner in agriculture to determine a vegetation index of scanned crops. Thereby the needed algorithm to position the laser ray in the TVS field-of-view are proposed, implemented using microcontroller and tested using various experimental factors. Experimentation results shows the advantages and disadvantages of every algorithm comparing the positioning errors after control.
