1. Application of Semantic Sensor Web in AgricultureIn July 2013, heavy rainstorms across the Midwestern region of the US caused many rivers to breach their banks. Residents of Valley Park, a small town along the Meramec River, Missouri, had to decide whether to rely on a newly constructed levee or abandon their homes for higher ground. Although the levee held, many chose the latter option and fled their homes; it was a chaotic situation that might have been avoided through access to better situational knowledge... Y. Zhang, T.

2. Development of a Machine Vision Yield Monitor for Shallot Onion HarvestersCrop yield estimation and mapping are important tools that can help growers efficiently use their available resources and have access to detailed representations of their farm. Technical advancements in computer vision have improved the detection, quality assessment and yield estimation processes for crops, including apples, citrus, mangoes, maize, figs and many other fruits. However, similar methods capable of exporting a detailed yield map for vegetable crops have not yet been fully developed.... A.A. Boatswain jacques, V.I. Adamchuk, G. Cloutier, J.J. Clark, C.

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.
