1. Evaluation of Differences in Corn Biomass and Nitrogen Uptake at Various Growth Stages Using Spectral Vegetation IndicesApplication of canopy sensors for nitrogen (N) fertilizer management for corn grain production in the Southeast US requires... M.S. Torino, B.V. Ortiz, J. Fulton, K. Balkcom |
2. Measurement of In-field Variability for Active Seeding Depth Applications in Southeastern USProper seeding depth control is essential to optimize row-crop planter performance, and adjustment of planter settings to within field spatial variability is required to maximize crop yield potential. The objectives of this study were to characterize planting depth response to varying soil conditions within fields, and to discuss implementation of active seeding depth technologies in Southeastern US. This study was conducted in 2014 and 2015 in central Alabama for non-irrigated maize (Zea mays... A.M. Poncet, J.P. Fulton, T.P. Mcdonald, T. Knappenberger, R.W. Bridges, J. Shaw, K. Balkcom |
3. Growth Analysis on Cotton Using Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) Based Multi-temporal Canopy FeaturesThe use of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) is rapidly evolving to generate imagery to determine crop growth patterns. A field experiment was conducted with thirty cotton varieties in 2016 and forty-two cotton varieties in 2021. The main objectives were (i) to perform growth analysis by using Canopy Cover (CC) and Canopy Height (CH) measurements obtained from UAS, (ii) to extract growth parameters from CC and CH data, (iii) to assess the relationship between the yield of cotton...

4. High Throughput Phenotyping of the Energy Cane Crop UAV-based LiDAR, Multispectral and RGB DataEnergy cane is a hybrid of sugarcane cultivated for their high biomass and fiber instead of sugar. It is used for production of biofuels and as feedstock for animals. As a relatively new crop, accurate knowledge of biophysical parameters such as height and biomass of different genotypes are pertinent to cultivar development. Such knowledge is also crucial to manage crop health, understand response to environmental effects, optimize harvest schedules, and estimate bioenergy yield. Nonetheless,... B. Ghansah, I.

5. Cotton Yield Estimation Using High-resolution Satellite Imagery Obtained from Planet SkySatSatellite images have been used to monitor and estimate crop yield. Over the years, significant improvements on spatial resolution have been made where ortho images can be generated at 30-centimeter resolution. In this study, we wanted to explore the potential use of Planet SKYSAT satellite system for cotton yield predictions. This system provided imagery data at 50 centimeters resolution, and we collected data 14 times during the season. The data were collected from two different cotton... M. Bhandari |
6. 3D Computer Vision with a Spatial-temporal Neural Network for Lameness Detection of SowsThe lameness of sows is one of the biggest concerns for swine producers, which can lead to considerable economic losses due to reduced productivity and welfare. There is a real need for early detection of lameness in sows to enable timely intervention and minimize loss. Currently, lame detection relies on visual observation and locomotion scoring of sows, which is subjective, labor-intensive, and difficult to conduct for large groups of animals within a short time. This study presents 3D computer... Y. Wang, Y. Lu, D. Morris, M. Benjamin, M. Lavagnino, J. Mcintyre |
7. Ground-based Imagery Data Collection of Cotton Using a Robotic PlatformIn modern agriculture, technological advancements are pivotal in optimizing crop production and resource management. Integrating robotics and image processing techniques allows the efficient collection, analysis, and storage of high-resolution images crucial for monitoring crop health, identifying pest infestations, assessing growth stages, making precise management decisions and predicting yield potential. The objective of this project is to utilize the Farm-NG Amiga robot to develop an image... O. Fernandez, M. Bhandari, J.L. Landivar-scoot, M. Eldefrawy, L. Zhao, J. Landivar |
