1. Automated Segmentation and Classification of Land Use from Overhead ImageryReliable land cover or habitat maps are an important component of any long-term landscape planning initiatives relying on current and past land use. Particularly in regions where sustainable management of natural resources is a goal, high spatial resolution habitat maps over large areas will give guidance in land-use management. We propose a computational approach to identify habitats based on the automated analysis of overhead imagery. Ultimately, this approach could be used to assist experts,... C. Pradalier, A.

2. Assessing Metering and Spreading Performance of Drones (UAVs) for Application of Dry MaterialsAlong with pesticide applications, the use of UAVs (also commonly referred to as drones) for applying dry materials has increased rapidly in the United States. Currently, various types of product metering and spreading systems are available on commercial drones for applying dry materials. However, limited information is available on their application performance, especially the metering accuracy and the uniformity of distribution across the swath. Therefore, research studies were conducted to... S. Virk, E. Ward, J. Sizemore |
3. Caliming: A Decision-Support Tool for Soil Liming RecommendationsSoil acidity is one of the main limiting factors for crop production in tropical regions. In this context, liming stands out as the most efficient strategy for correcting soil acidity, promoting pH increase, neutralization of toxic aluminum, and the supply of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) to plants. Several methods for calculating lime requirement have been developed over time, ranging from classical approaches consolidated in official recommendation handbooks to more recent methods, such as...
