1. Evaluating Spectral Measures Derived From Airborne Multispectral Imagery for Detecting Cotton Root RotCotton root rot, caused by the soilborne fungus Phymatotrichopsis omnivore, is one of the most destructive plant diseases occurring...

2. Evaluating low-cost Lidar and Active Optical Sensors for pasture and forage biomass assessmentAccurate and reliable assessment of pasture or forage biomass remains one of the key challenges for grazing industries. Livestock managers require accurate estimates of the grassland biomass available over their farm to enable optimal stocking rate decisions. This paper reports on our investigations into the potential application of affordable Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) systems and Active Optical (reflectance) Sensors (AOS) to estimate pasture biomass. We evaluated the calibration accuracy... M. Trotter, K. Andersson, M. Welch, M. Chau, L. Frizzel, D. Schneider |
3. Ear Deployed Accelerometer Behaviour Detection in SheepAn animal’s behaviour can be a clear indicator of their physiological and physical state. Therefore as resting, eating, walking and ruminating are the predominant daily activities of ruminant animals, monitoring these behaviours could provide valuable information for management decisions and individual animal health status. Traditional animal monitoring methods have relied on human labor to visually observe animals. Accelerometer technology offers the possibility of remotely monitoring animal... J.D. Barwick, M.
