1. Deep Learning Models Applied to Drone Imagery for Counting, Biometry, and Carbon Stock Estimation in Large-scale Macaw Palm (Acrocomia Aculeata) Plantations

Macaw palm is a native Brazilian species with significant productive potential, emerging as a premier candidate for the sustainable replacement of oil palm and as a strategic feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and carbon credit markets. However, as the crop is still in the process of domestication and commercial expansion, there is an urgent need for efficient monitoring technologies that enable the identification of superior individuals and the rigorous auditing of carbon stocks across...
