I am doing MS thesis. Title is "Time series crop yield estimation using satellite images". Below are my aims and objectives but supervisor said objectives are not correct. I dont know what should I change.Any one can help me to rewrite my objectives.
Aim: The aim of this study is to develop a model for wheat yield prediction using satellite imagery before the harvest time.
Objectives:
1.It is mandatory for the planners of any regime to have an accurate and precise estimate of a crop to cope with the shortage crises of the crop, as Pakistan faced a very serious crisis of wheat’s shortage in 2007
2.An accurate estimate of a crop gives a significant relief to the country’s exchequer in terms of saving foreign exchange
3.The main purpose of this research is, therefore, the scientific construction of a model employing all the information available via remote sensing in order to get a good and trustworthy estimate of wheat crops.

Aim = what you hope to achieve. Objective = the action(s) you will take in order to achieve the aim.
So I think a minor correction like the following can be useful:
Objectives:
1. Accurate and precise estimate of wheat yield to cope with the shortage crises of the crop
2. Significant relief to the country’s exchequer in terms of saving foreign exchange
3. Construct a scientific model via remote sensing in order to get a good and trustworthy estimate of wheat crops.
Dear Hamza,
The objective of your work is slightly the extension of your Thesis title : "Time series crop yield estimation using satellite images".
However, to be successful for formal Thesis writing, you first need a deep literature review. Here, first I provide you some links:
Article Suitability of satellite remote sensing data for yield estim...
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/13/7/1391/htm
and many more literature ..........
In Summary:
For your literature review, read 30 to 40 research papers.
In your literature review try to understand what have been achieved within the existing literature and understand what is the limitation/research-gape/research-question OR in simple words what new contribution is need to be done? which is your objective!!! Outline your methodology....How you will do it..... e.g., you will have to choose some method/algorithm..........Data ... Coding ---(e.g., MATLAB/Python/C++/R ...etc)....
Finally, the above training will enable you to write good Thesis.
Good Luck
Hamza Mehmood you can see the following links:

To my reading, your objectives seem more like a preamble to the Aim.
Borrowing the first part of Mahsa Afsharizadeh's answer, objective 3 should be broken into achievable parts and re-written:
- Objective 1 Collect data (wheat yield data in Pakistan or other suitable area) and satellite imagery for same geographic areas
- Obj 2: Assess quality of each dataset (they will be incomplete in some way)
- Obj.3: Develop a model of wheat yield as a function of imagery data (maybe the easiest part)
- Obj 4: Test the model on a new dataset. (easy to do with existing datasets, harder to do with this year's images before the crop is harvested).
That seems like plenty for a master's thesis. Good luck.
You should start with a problem statement - come up with the main research question. Then you will have to break it into pieces as 3-4 research questions, which when answered would answer the main problem/research question. The research questions can be converted into objectives. All the best
As i feel your thesis title and the aim not much oriented together .
Puede ser: Desarrollar un procedimienton que permita la prediccion del rendimienton del cultivo del Trigo con la utilizacion de imagenes de satelites.
