1. Path Generation Method with Steering Rate ConstraintThe practical way to generate a reference path in path tracking is to follow an adjacent swath. However, if the adjacent swath contains sharp turnings, the reference path will eventually contain sharper turn than the tractor is able to follow. This occurs especially in the corner of a field plot when the field is driven around. In the headland, the objective is to minimize the time to reach the next swath. The commonly known method to generate the shortest path between two arbitrary... J. Backman, T. Oksanen, A. Visala |
2. Optimization of Forage Harvesting By Automatic Speed Control and Additive ApplicationEfficient use of machines is especially important in forage harvesting due to the short harvesting period and expensive machinery. To achieve the best efficiency, a harvesting machine, such as a loader wagon, should be used with optimal loading. Whereas overloading the machine can cause blockages in the cut-and-feed unit, underloading consumes more time and reduces the quality of the resulting silage. In addition, the quality can be improved by optimizing the dosage of the additive. Since the... A. Suokannas, J. Backman, A. Visala, A. Kunnas |
3. UAV Multispectral Data As a Suitable Tool for Predicting Sweetness, Size, and Yield of Vidalia OnionsVidalia onions is a specialty crop cultivated solely within the southeastern region of Georgia. The key distinguishing characteristic of Vidalia onions is its high sugar content, making them highly prized and widely consumed. Ten thousand acres are grown with Vidalia Onions each year approximately, and the market value (~$150Mi/year) makes the crop very important for the State of Georgia. Traditionally, the planting, weeding, spraying, harvesting, and post-harvesting operations are usually done... M. Barbosa, L. Oliveira, C. Tyson, A. Shirley, R. Santos, L. Sales, R. Vargas |
