1. Revisited: A Case Study Approach For Teaching And Applying Precision AgricultureCurrent agricultural students understand and are excited about new technologies, but often do not understand how precision agriculture can be applied to farming operations. A case-study approach that requires students to develop precision agriculture management practices which includes selecting equipment and assessing the financial feasibility could help students understand and apply precision agriculture. This paper revisits a case-study approach to teaching precision agriculture and describes... J.D. Williams, S.D. Mcgary, M. Waits |
2. Airspeed and Pressure Affect Spray Droplet Spectrum from an Aerial Nozzle for Fixed-wing ApplicationsThe atomization of the droplets generated by a flat fan nozzle has been studied in the IEA-I high speed wind tunnel at NERCIEA with Marvern Spraytec Laser Diffraction system. The measurement point is set at 0.15m, 0.25m and 0.35m away from the orifice of the nozzle. The wind speed range is from 150km/h to 305km/h, and the tube pressure is set about 0.3MPa, 0.4MPa and 0.5MPa. The measuring distance from the orifice of the nozzle is found important to the diameter and relative span of the droplets.... Q. Tang, L. Chen, R. Zhang, M. Xu, G. Xu, T. Yi |
3. Computer Vision Techniques Applied to Natural Scenes Recognition and Autonomous Locomotion of Agricultural Mobile RobotsThe use of computer systems in Precision Agriculture (PA) promotes the processes’ automation and its applied tasks, specifically the inspection and analysis of agricultural crops, and guided/autonomous locomotion of mobile robots. In this context, this research aims the application of computer vision techniques for agricultural mobile robot locomotion, settled through an architecture for the acquisition, image processing and analysis, in order to segment, classify and recognize patterns...
