Convolutional Neural Networks for Real-Time Weed Identification in Wild Blueberry Production
(2020-12-18)Yield-limiting weeds in wild blueberry fields, including hair fescue and sheep sorrel, are traditionally managed with uniform applications of herbicides. Spot applications of herbicides reduce the volume required for ... -
Crop Assessment Technique Using a Real-Time Hardware-Based Image Processing System to Support on-the-spot Decision Management for Agricultural Applications
(2022-04-21)Despite the advances in modern technology, one of the most challenging tasks remains the identification of stressed and/or diseased crops at the field scale. A wide range of precision agriculture (PA) technologies with the ... -
Development and Evaluation of a Radar System for Ground Surface Detection in Wild Blueberry Fields
(2021-04-27)Mechanical wild blueberry harvest efficiency depends heavily on operator skill. The harvesting picking reel requires accurate and precise positioning based on fruit zone, field topography and foreign obstacles. Spatially ... -
Development of Machine Vision Node on Standardized Controller Area Network of a Self-Propelled Boom Sprayer to Perform Site-Specific Pesticide Application
(2023-07-26)Pesticides are applied by commercial sprayers to control weeds and insects, which commonly develop in patches. Several boom sprayers are equipped with ISOBUS communication links which is a common tendency to integrate ... -
