1. Estimating Crop Biomass And Nitrogen Uptake Using Cropspectm, A Newly Developed Active Crop-canopy Reflectance SensorIn-season variable rate nitrogen fertilizer application needs efficient determination of the nitrogen nutrition status of crops with high spatial and temporal resolution. A suitable approach to get this information fast and at low cost is proximal sensing of the light that is reflected from the crop canopy. CropSpecTM is an active vehicle mounted crop canopy sensor. Using pulsed laser diodes as light source, the sensor is designed to look at the crop at an oblique... S. Reusch, J. Jasper, A. Link, J. Vollmar |
2. Plant Stand Count and Corn Crop Density Assessment Using Texture Analysis on Visible Imagery Collected Using Unmanned Aerial VehiclesEnsuring successful corn farming requires an effective monitoring program to collect information about stand counts at an early stage of growth and plant damages due to natural calamities, farming equipment, hogs, deer and other animals. These monitoring programs not only provide a yield estimate but also help farmers and insurance companies in assessing the causes of damages. Current field-based assessment methods are labor intensive, costly, and provide very limited information. Manual assessment... S. Samiappan, B. Henry, R.J. Moorhead, M.W. Hock |
