1. A Method For Sampling Scab Spots On Apple Leaves In The Orchard Using Machine VisionIntroduction One of the largest threats in apple orchards is scab. Current procedures involve models based on weather data that predict the likelihood of scab attacks. In case of alarm the orchard is sprayed with preventive pesticides and this typically happens 25-30 times per season. The scab attacks the leaves and stays on fallen leaves that reinfect the trees with rainwater, making it an advantage to include a-priori knowledge on previous... M.G. Bertelsen, K. Nielsen, M.R.

2. Fusion Of Multi Exposure Stereo Images And Thermography For Obstacle Detection On Agricultural VehiclesIntroduction Over the years agricultural vehicles become increasingly automated with trajectory row tracking and master-slave vehicle configurations, and autoguided vehicles. Safety is an important aspect. Auto guided vehicles exist in industry, where the surroundings are semistructured and flat. Sopme cars have collision sensors. But in agriculture the ground is not flat. The vehicles are meant to be driven into crops, and there are certain paths... K. Nielsen, M.R. Nielsen |
3. Automatic Detection And Mapping Of Irrigation System Failures Using Remotely Sensed Canopy Temperature And Image ProcessingToday there is no systematic way to identify and locate failures of irrigation systems mainly because of the labor costs associated with locating the failures. The general aim of this study was to develop an airborne thermal imaging system for semi - automatic monitoring and mapping of irrigation system failures, specifically, of leaks and clogs. Initially, leaks and clogs were simulated by setting controlled trials in table grapes vineyards and olive groves. Airborne thermal... V. Alchanatis, Y. Cohen, M. Sprinstin, A. Cohen, I. Zipori, A.

4. soil2data: Concept for a Mobile Field Laboratory for Nutrient AnalysisKnowledge of the small-scale nutrient status of arable land is an important basis for optimizing fertilizer use in crop production. A mobile field laboratory opens up the possibility of carrying out soil sampling and nutrient analysis directly on the field. In addition to the benefits of fast data availability and the avoidance of soil material transport to the laboratory, it provides a future foundation for advanced application options, e.g. a high sampling density, sampling of small sub-fields...

5. Comparison of Canopy Extraction Methods from UAV Thermal Images for Temperature Mapping: a Case Study from a Peach OrchardCanopy extraction using thermal images significantly affects temperature mapping and crop water status estimation. This study aimed to compare several canopy extraction methodologies by utilizing a large database of UAV thermal images from a precision irrigation trial in a peach orchard. Canopy extraction using thermal images can be attained by purely statistical analysis (S), a combination of statistical and spatial analyses (SS), or by synchronizing thermal and RGB images, following RGB statistical...
