1. Appropriate Wavelengths for Winter Wheat Growth Status Based On Multi-Spectral Crop Reflectance DataOne of the applications of remote sensing in agriculture is to obtain crop status for estimation and management of variable rate of inputs in the crop production. In order to select the appropriate wavelengths related... I. Han-ya, K. Ishii, N. Noguchi, V. Rasooli sharabian |
2. Remote Sensing Imagery Based Agricultural Land Pattern Extraction around Miyajimanuma WetlandThis research aimed to extract agricultural land use pattern around the Miyajimanuma wetland, Hokkaido, Japan. By combining the image segmentation technology - watershed transform and image classification technology- particle swarm optimization (PSO)-k-means based minimum distance classifier, a new method for extracting the agricultural land use information based...

3. Evaluating Spatial Effects Induced by Alternative On- Farm Trial Experimental Designs with Cross-regressive Variables Using Monte Carlo MethodsThe goal of this research was to adapt spatial regression methods to on-farm trials in a farm management context. Different experimental designs and statistical analysis methods are tested with site-specific data under a range of spatial autocorrelation levels using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Simulations indicated that data usable for farm management decision making could be gathered from limited replication experimental designs if that data were analyzed with the appropriate spatial statistical...

4. Development of Farmland-Terrain Simulation System for Consistency of Seeding DepthA farmland-terrain simulation system suitable for rugged topography was designed to study the irregularities of farmland surface morphology led by both topographic fluctuation and terrain tilt. The system consists of terrain simulation mechanism, hydraulic system, control system, etc. The terrain simulation mechanism is connected to the rack through hydraulic cylinder to simulate farmland surface fluctuation. The hydraulic system controls the hydraulic cylinder to drive the terrain simulation... W. Fu, J. Dong, Y. Cong, N. Gao, Y. Li, Z. Meng |
5. Can Soil Fertility Data and Topography Predict Yield Stability Zones for Corn Fields in New York?Yield monitor systems play a vital role in precision agriculture given their ability to capture and map within-field yield variability. When three or more years of yield data are available, yield stability zone maps can be generated to show both the spatial and temporal variability of yield within a field. Based on the farm’s overall temporal mean and standard deviation for a specific crop, we can classify areas in the field as consistently high- (Q1) or low-yielding (Q4), and variably high-... M.

6. Automated Detection and Length Estimation of Green Asparagus Towards Selective HarvestingGreen asparagus is an important vegetable crop in the United States (U.S.). Harvesting the crop is notoriously labor-intensive, accounting for over 50% of production costs. There is an urgent need to develop harvesting automation technology for the U.S. asparagus industry to remain sustainable and competitive. Despite previous research and developments on mechanical asparagus harvesting, no practically viable products are available because of their low harvest selectivity and significant yield... J. Xu, Y.

7. Development of a Multispectral Vision-based Automated Sweetpotato Grading SystemQuality evaluation and grading of sweetpotatoes is a manual operation that requires significant labor input. Machine vision technology offers a promising solution for automated sweetpotato grading and sorting. Although color imaging is widely used for quality evaluation of various horticultural commodities, a multispectral vision technique that acquires color and near-infrared (NIR) images simultaneously is a potentially more effective modality for fruit grading, especially for defects, while...
