1. Assessment of Crop Growth Under Modified Center Pivot Irrigation Systems Using Small Unmanned Aerial System Based Imaging TechniquesIrrigation accounts for about 80% consumptive use of water in the Northwest of United States. Even small increases in water use efficiency can improve crop production, yield, and have more water available for alternative uses. Center pivot irrigation systems are widely recognized in the irrigation industry for being one of the most efficient sprinkler systems. In recent years, there has been a shift from high pressure impact sprinklers on the top of center pivots to Mid Elevation Spray Application... M. Chakraborty, T. Peters, L. Khot |
2. Using Prescription Maps for in Field Evaluations of Parameteres Affecting Spraying Accuracy of Self-propelled SprayerWeed presence continues to reemerge year over year, chemical costs continue to increase, and chemical usage continuing to face increasing government oversight, are just a few of the challenges that site-specific weed management intends to address by minimizing wasted application of chemicals and reducing environmental load of active ingredients. Thus, sprayer system manufacturers have developed precision spray systems that allow the individual spray nozzles to be controlled precisely. These spray... J. Mayer, P. Flores, J. Stenger |
3. Scaling Up Window-based Regression for Crop-row DetectionCrop-row detection is a central element of weed detection and agricultural image processing tasks. With the increased availability of high-resolution imagery, a precise locating of crop rows is becoming practical in the sense that the necessary data are commonly available. However, conventional image processing techniques often fail to scale up to the data volumes and processing time expectations. We present an approach that computes regression lines over... A.M.

4. Assessment of Goss Wilt Disease Severity Using Machine Learning Techniques Coupled with UAV ImageryGoss Wilt has become a common disease in corn fields in North Dakota. It has been one of the most yield-limiting diseases, causing losses of up to 50%. The current method to identify the disease is through visual inspection of the field, which is inefficient, and can be subjective, with misleading results, due to evaluator fatigue. Therefore, developing a reliable, accurate, and automated tool for assessing the severity of Goss's Wilt disease has become a top priority. The use of unmanned... A. Das, P. Flores, Z. Zhang , A. Friskop, J. Mathew |
5. Using Remote Sensing to Quantify Biomass in AlfalfaSatellite images are a useful decision support tool to optimize management practices at on-farm scale. Based on this, the development of predictive tools to estimate pasture biomass can be a promising framework to determine the best cutting time, maximizing biomass without compromising yield parameters. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to develop a regression model that allows estimating a value of biomass to give as a recommendation to farmers. To collaborate in their decision...
