1. Automated Geometrical Field Boundary Delineation Algorithm for Adjacent Job SitesEstablishing farmland geometric boundaries is a critical component of any assistive technology, designed towards the automation of mechanized farming systems. Observing farmland boundaries enables farmers and farm machinery contractors to determine; seed purchase orders, fertiliser application rate, and crop yields. Farmers must supply acreage measurements to regulatory bodies, who will use the geometric data to develop environmental policies and allocate farm subsidies appropriately. Agricultural... S.J.

2. Variable Rate Application to Improve Cro Protection in Orchards and Vineyards. Prescription Maps and Satellites to Accomplish EU Farm to Fork StrategyAccurate canopy characterization is crucial for a targeted application of plant protection products following variable rate application (VRA) concept. Remote sensing offers a robust and rapid monitoring tool that allows determining the characteristics of the vegetation from aerial platforms at different spatial resolutions. Previous work have demonstrated that drone-based imagery can be used to estimate canopy height, width, and canopy volume accurately enough to allow a full automation of VRA... E. Gil, F.

3. In-Field and Loading Crop: A Machine Learning Approach to Classify Machine Harvesting Operating ModeThis paper addresses the complex issue of classifying mode of operation (active, idle, stationary unloading, on-the-go unloading, turning) and coordinating agricultural machinery. Agricultural machinery operators must operate within a limited time window to optimize operational efficiency and reduce costs. Existing algorithms for classifying machinery operating modes often rely on heuristic methods. Examples include rules conditioned on machine speed, bearing angle and operational time... D.

4. Affordable Telematics System for Recording and Monitoring Operational Data in Crop FarmingThe aim of this research was to create an affordable telematics system for agricultural tractors for enhancing existing data logging capabilities. This system enables real-time transmission of operational data from the tractor's CAN bus to a server for storage, monitoring, and further analysis. By leveraging standardized communication protocols like ISO 11783 and J1939, operational data such as fuel consumption and engine load can be easily monitored. The system was built around a Raspberry... A. Lajunen, H. Hovio |
