1. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Multispectral with RGB Sensors to Analyze Canola Yield in the Canadian PrairiesIn 2017 canola was planted on 9 million hectares in Canada surpassing wheat as the most widely planted crop in Canada. Saskatchewan is the dominant producer with nearly 5 million hectares planted in 2017. This crop, seen both as one of the highest-yielding and most profitable, is also one of most expensive and input-intensive for producers on the Canadian Prairies. In this study, the effect of natural and planted shelterbelts on canola yield was compared with canola yield... K. Hodge, L. Bainard, A. Smith, F. Akhter |
2. Utilizing Hyperspectral Field Imagery for Accurate Southern Leaf Blight Severity Grading in CornCrop disease detection using traditional scouting and visual inspection approaches can be laborious and time-consuming. Timely detection of disease and its severity over large spatial regions is critical for minimizing significant yield losses. Hyperspectral imagery has been demonstrated as a useful tool for a broad assessment of crop health. The use of spectral bands from hyperspectral data to predict disease severity and progression has been shown to have the capability of enhancing early... G. Vincent, M. Kudenov, P. Balint-kurti, R. Dean, C.M. Williams |
3. Optimizing Power Delivery in Electric Farm Machinery Using a Hybrid Battery and Ultracapacitor SystemAgriculture plays a significant role in global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing notably to climate change. Integrating renewable energy into agricultural operations has become increasingly vital in addressing this challenge. This study investigates the potential of electrifying agricultural machinery using a hybrid energy storage system that combines batteries and ultracapacitors. While batteries offer high energy density, they face limitations such as slow charging and reduced lifespan... S. Wu-yang |
