L’une des avancées les plus importantes dans le domaine de l’observation de la terre est la découverte des indices spectraux, ils ont notamment prouvé leur efficacité dans la caractérisation des surfaces agricoles, mais ils sont généralement définis de manière empirique. Cette étude basée sur l’intelligence artificielle et le traitement du signal, propose une méthode pour trouver un indice optimal. Et porte sur l’analyse d’images issues d’une caméra multi-spectrale, utilisée dans un contexte agricole pour l’acquisition en champ proche de végétation.
The Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) was established in the year 1963 by former President Dr. Cheddi Jagan. It became a state corporation in 1964 offering the Diploma in Agriculture and the Certificate in Agriculture Programmes, and graduated the first batch of 15 students in 1966. Agricultural diversification has become an important mechanism for economic growth by providing opportunities that facilitate technological advancement and demand driven government policy.
L’herbe pâturée est l’aliment qui coûte le moins cher dans une ration et la bonne gestion de l’herbe passe entre autre par une connaissance des quantités disponibles. Afin de simplifier et d’automatiser ces mesures d’herbe, et ainsi contribuer au maintien voire au développement du pâturage, le projet HERDECT s’est attaché à construire des méthodes d’estimation de la biomasse des prairies à partir d’outils de télédétection (d’acquisition à distance) et à en estimer la faisabilité opérationnelle.
Cet article présente une nouvelle approche à base de logique floue pour évaluer le risque phytosanitaire dans une serre produisant des roses. Le but de cette étude est de fournir à l’agriculteur un indice représentant le risque de présence de nuisible : Western Flower Thrips (WFT) ou Frankliniella Occidentalis, et d’enlever la phase decomptage manuel. Un systéme d’aide à la décision modulaire basé sur la connaissance d’experts a été conçu. Le systéme proposé fournit un facteur de risque en fonction des données météorologiques et statiques.
Water is a vital and scarce resource in agriculture and its optimal management is emerging as a key challenge. This paper presents an automated irrigation system to reduce water utilization in agriculture by combining the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and optimization tools. The automated irrigation system deploys low cost sensors to sense variables of interest such as soil moisture, pH, soil type, and weather conditions. The data is stored in Thingspeak cloud service for monitoring and data-storage.
The problems of agricultural development for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are considered. The features of modeling business processes in agriculture are analyzed. A financial decision support system is proposed to increase sustainability and reduce risks in the development of agricultural SMEs. The software modules are based on TEO-INVEST.
For an intelligent agricultural robot to reliably operate on a large-scale farm, it is crucial to accurately estimate its pose. In large outdoor environments, 3D LiDAR is a preferred sensor. Urban and agricultural scenarios are characteristically different, where the latter contains many poorly defined objects such as grass and trees with leaves that will generate noisy sensor signals. While state-of-the-art methods of state estimation using LiDAR, such as LiDAR odometry and mapping (LOAM), work well in urban scenarios, they will fail in the agricultural domain.
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.
This paper proposes a bionic electric spraying rod to perform the crop watering and spraying in the farm. The design concept of multiple vertebrae structures of snake is used to realize a reproducible snake bone arm and muscles of snake, which can be regarded as multiple sets of thin wires and be pulled and released through driver module. It results in different attitudes of the snake bone arm. A water pipe is installed in the snake arm connected to the spray nozzle for spraying. The mobile application interface (APP) is designed to provide the user to control the arm remotely.
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 in database so that it can be seen from remote-situated PC.
