1. A Method For Sampling Scab Spots On Apple Leaves In The Orchard Using Machine VisionIntroduction One of the largest threats in apple orchards is scab. Current procedures involve models based on weather data that predict the likelihood of scab attacks. In case of alarm the orchard is sprayed with preventive pesticides and this typically happens 25-30 times per season. The scab attacks the leaves and stays on fallen leaves that reinfect the trees with rainwater, making it an advantage to include a-priori knowledge on previous... M.G. Bertelsen, K. Nielsen, M.R.

2. Soil Attributes Estimation Based on Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy and Topographic VariabilityThe local management of crop areas, which is the basic concept of precision agriculture, is essential for increasing crop yield. In this context, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and digital elevation modelling (DEM) appears as an important technique for determining soil properties, on an adequate scale to agricultural management, enabling faster and less costly evaluations in soil studies. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of DRS together with topographic parameters for... J.V. fontenelli, L.R. Amaral, J.M. Demattê, P.G. Magalhães, G. Sanches |
3. Sparse Coding for Classification Via a Locality Regularizer: with Applications to AgricultureHigh-dimensional data is commonly encountered in various applications, including genomics, as well as image and video processing. Analyzing, computing, and visualizing such data pose significant challenges. Feature extraction methods become crucial in addressing these challenges by obtaining compressed representations that are suitable for analysis and downstream tasks. One effective technique along these lines is sparse coding, which involves representing data as a sparse linear combination of... A. Tasissa, L. Li, J.M. Murphy |
4. 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 |
