3D Move To See (3DMTS) is a mutli-perspective visual servoing method for unstructured and occluded environments, like that encountered in robotic crop harvesting. This paper presents a deep learning method, Deep-3DMTS for creating a single-perspective approach for 3DMTS through the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The novel method is developed and validated via simulation against the standard 3DMTS approach. The Deep-3DMTS approach is shown to have performance equivalent to the standard 3DMTS baseline in guiding the end effector of a robotic arm to improve the view of occluded fruit (sweet peppers): end effector final position within 11.4 mm of the baseline; and an increase in fruit size in the image by a factor of 17.8 compared to the baseline of 16.8 (avg.).
In this paper is proposed to conduct a first stage AKIS diagnostic exercise developing a map of the system of the actors involved in water quality protection and catchment management that interact with the farming community. Specifically we will use the...
This paper describes a remote monitoring system of the agricultural robot using Web application. We developed the system in order to make clear condition about robot combine and adequately manage agricultural task data. The system makes the combine data accumulated...
The Establishment of the Rahad Scheme in Eastern Sudan in the 1970s established an agricultural innovation system where formal actors such as extension, research, finance institutions and informal actors such as agro pastoral organizations are networking to provide better livelihoods...
The field of precision agriculture increasingly utilize and develop robotics for various applications, many of which are dependent on high accuracy localization and attitude estimation. Special attention has been put towards full attitude estimation by low-cost sensors, in relation to...
The goal of this paper is to access the state, specify trends, compare with other EU states, and identify intervention needs of Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS) in Bulgaria, and assist policy formation for the next programing period. Modern...
