1. Agronomist-in-the-Loop Semantic 3D Reconstruction of Cotton Boll Morphology from UAV Imagery for Precision Agriculture

Standard aerial photogrammetry is failing precision agriculture in one specific area: the detailed morphological assessment of complex, cluttered canopies. While creating a field-level map is trivial, recovering the geometry of a single cotton boll from a drone altitude of 30 meters is often mathematically intractable for standard Structure-from-Motion (SfM) solvers. These traditional pipelines depend on pixel-perfect consistency, which breaks down amidst... P. Sundaravadivel, H. Manjunatha, S. Borah, A. Anand, A. Price, H. Torbert, L. Tamil, T. Stroud
