1. Application Of Algebra Hyper-curve Neural Network In Soil Nutrient Spatial InterpolationStudy on spatial variability of soil nutrient is the basis of soil nutrient management in precision agriculture. For study on application potential and characteristics of algebra hyper-curve neural network(AHNN) in delineating soil properties spatial variability and interpolation, total 956 soil samples were taken for alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen measurement from a 50 hectares field using 20m*20m grid sampling. The test data set consisted of 100 random samples extracting... L. Chen, C. Zhao, W. Huang, T. Chen, J. Wang |
2. X-Ray Computed Tomography For State Of The Art Plant And Root AnalysisDuring the last years, the formerly in medical applications established technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT) is used for non-destructive material analysis as well. Adapting this technique for the visualization and analysis of growth processes of plants above and underneath the soil enables new possibilities in the so called smart agriculture. Using State-of-the-art CT systems the computed 3D volume datasets allows the visualization and virtual analysis of hidden structures like roots... S. Reisinger, N. Uhlmann, R. Hanke, S. Gerth |
3. A Multi Sensor Data Fusion Approach for Creating Variable Depth Tillage Zones.Efficiency of tillage depends largely on the nature of the field, soil type, spatial distribution of soil properties and the correct setting of the tillage implement. However, current tillage practice is often implemented without full understanding of machine design and capability leading to lowered efficiency and further potential damage to the soil structure. By modifying the physical properties of soil only where the tillage is needed for optimum crop growth, variable depth tillage (VDT)... D. Whattoff, D. Mouazen, D. Waine |
4. Remote Sensing-based Biomass Maps for an Efficient Use of FertilizersFor decades the main objective of farmers was to get the highest yields from their farmland. Nowadays, quality of agricultural products is becoming more and more important for the largest returns. In addition, the effects on our environment are also becoming important. These put increasing limitations on modern agriculture. So-called site-specific management can optimize the input of, for instance, nutrients and pesticides to the need of the plants. In this study, the objective was to study whether... J.G. P.w clevers, K.H. Wijnholds, J.N. Jukema |
5. A Comparison of Three-Dimensional Data Acquisition Methods for Phenotyping ApplicationsCurrently Phenotyping is primarily performed using two-dimensional imaging techniques. While this yields interesting data about a plant, a lot of information is lost using regular cameras. Since a plant is three-dimensional, the use of dedicated 3D-imaging sensors provides a much more complete insight into the phenotype of the plant. Different methods for 3D-data acquisition are available, each with their inherent advantages and disadvantages. These have to be addressed depending on the particular... O. Scholz, F. Uhrmann, S.

6. Quantification of Seed Performance: Non-Invasive Determination of Internal Traits Using Computed TomographyThe application of the 3D mean-shift filter to 3D Computed Tomography Data enables the segmentation of internal traits. Specifically in maize seeds this approach gives the opportunity to separate the internal structure, for example the volume of the embryo, the cavities and the low and high dense parts of the starch body. To evaluate the mean-shift filter, the results were compared to the usage of a median-smoothing filter. To show the relevance of the mean-shift extended image pipeline an automatic... J. Claussen, N.
