2. 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.

3. Processing Yield Data from Two or More CombinesErroneous data affect the quality of yield map. Data from combines working close to each other may differ widely if one of the monitors is not properly calibrated and this difference has to be adjusted before generating the map. The objective of this work was to develop a method to correct the yield data when running two or more combines in which at least one has the monitor not properly calibrated. The passes of each combine were initially identified and three methods to correct yield data were... L. Maldaner, J.P. Molin, T.F. Canata |
4. Measuring Height of Sugarcane Plants Through LiDAR TechnologySugarcane (Saccharum spp.) has an important economic role in Brazilian agriculture, especially in São Paulo State. Variation in the volume of plants can be an indicative of biomass which, for sugarcane, strongly relates to the yield. Laser sensors, like LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), has been employed to estimate yield for corn, wheat and monitoring forests. The main advantage of using this type of sensor is the capability of real-time data acquisition in a non-destructive way, previously... T.F. Canata, J.P. Molin, A.F. Colaço, R.G. Trevisan, P.R. Fiorio, M. Martello |
5. 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.
