1. Are Thermal Images Adequate For Irrigation Management?Thermal crop sensing technologies have potential as tools for monitoring and mapping crop water status, improving water use efficiency and precisely managing irrigation. As thermal sensors and imagers became more affordable, various platforms were examined to allow for canopy- and field-scale acquisitions of canopy temperature and to extract maps of water status variability. Various canopy temperature statistics and crop water stress index (CWSI) were used to estimate water status... O. Rosenberg, V. Alchanatis, Y. Saranga, A. Bosak, Y. Cohen |
2. Sampling Bumble Bees and Floral Resources Using Deep Learning and UAV ImageryPollinators, essential components of natural and agricultural systems, forage over relatively large spatial scales. This is especially true of large generalist species, like bumble bees. Thus, it can be difficult to estimate the amount and diversity of floral resources available to them. Floral cover and diversity are often estimated over large areas by extrapolation from small scale samples (e.g., a 1-m quadrat) but the accuracy of such estimates can vary depending on the spatial patchiness of...

3. Detection of Sorghum Aphids with Advanced Machine VisionSorghum aphid, Melanaphis sorghi (Theobald), became a significant pest concern due to the significant yield losses caused in the sorghum production region. Different management practices, including monitoring and applying insecticides, have been used to manage this invasive pest in sorghum. The most common management strategy consists of visual assessments of aphids on sorghum leaves to determine an economic threshold level to spray. However, because of their rapid reproduction,... I.A.
