This paper presents an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for precision forestry applications. The UAS is capable of performing fully autonomous flights under the canopies of an unknown plantation forest by avoiding obstacles without the use of GPS navigation. The navigation framework of this system consists of a velocity estimator and an obstacle avoidance controller. In particular, the velocity estimator estimates raw velocity measurements from the 2D laser scanner using the Point-to-Line Iterati...
