1. 3D Map in the Depth Direction of Field for Precision AgricultureBy a change in eating habits with economic development and the global population growth, we have been faced with the need for increased food production again. In order to solve the food problem in the future, the introduction of agriculture organization is progressing in emerging countries as well as developed countries. However, the occurrence of natural disasters and abnormal weather, which is becoming a worldwide problem at present, is further weakening the crops of farm... H. Umeda, S. Shibusawa, Q. Li, K.

2. Using A Potable Spectroradiometer For In-Situ Measurement Of Soil Properties In A Slope Citrus FieldIn precision agriculture, rapid, non-destructive, cost-effective and convenient soil analysis techniques are needed for crop and soil management. However, the spatial variability of soil properties is consider to be high cost and time consuming to characterize using traditional soil analysis method. To achieve cost and time reduction, the potential benefits of in-situ measurement of soil spectra have been recognized. ... S. Shibusawa, H. Umeda, K. Usui, M. Kodaira, Q. Li |
3. Field Tests and Improvement of Sensor and Control Interface Modules with Improved Compatibility for GreenhousesNumber of greenhouses has been increased in many countries to control the cultivation conditions and improve crop yield and quality. Recently, various sensors and control devices, and also wireless communication tools have been adopted for efficient monitoring and control of the greenhouse environments. However, there have been farmers’ demands for improved compatibility among the sensors and control devices. In the study, sensor and control interface modules with improved compatibility... K.

4. Steering Strategy Selection of a Robotic Platform for Bin Management in Orchard EnvironmentFor a robotic bin-managing system working in an orchard environment, especially in modern narrow row spaced orchards in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region of the U.S., path planning is an essential function to achieve highly efficient bin management. Unlike path planning for a car-like vehicle in an open field, path planning for a four-wheel-independent-steered (4WIS) robotic bin-managing platform in orchard environment is much more challenging due to the very confined working space between tree...

5. Invasive and Non-Invasive Technology for Measuring Water Content of Crop Leaves in Greenhouse HorticultureMoisture status in the crop is closely related to various physiological activities of the crop. If we can measure the moisture status in the crop in real time, we can understand the photosynthetic activity, which is an important physiological activity for growing crops, and the movement of the product from photosynthesis. Therefore, we verified it is possible to measure water content of crop leaves nondestructively using invasive method and non-invasive method. As a non-invasive measurement method,... H. Umeda, K.
