Currently, weed control in a corn field is performed by a blanket application of herbicides that do not consider spatial distribution information of weeds and also uses an extensive amount of chemical herbicides. To reduce the amount of…
Currently, weed control in commercial corn production is performed without considering weed distribution information in the field. This kind of weed management practice leads to excessive amounts of chemical herbicides being applied in a…
Uncontrolled growth of weeds can severely affect the crop yield and quality. Unrestricted use of herbicide for weed removal alters biodiversity and cause environmental pollution. Instead, identifying weed-infested regions can aid selective…
In modern agriculture, usually weeds control consists in spraying herbicides all over the agricultural field. This practice involves significant waste and cost of herbicide for farmers and environmental pollution. One way to reduce the cost…
Precise robotic weed control plays an essential role in precision agriculture. It can help significantly reduce the environmental impact of herbicides while reducing weed management costs for farmers. In this paper, we demonstrate that a…
Italian ryegrass is a grass weed commonly found in winter wheat fields that are competitive with winter wheat for moisture and nutrients. Ryegrass can cause substantial reductions in yield and grain quality if not properly controlled with…
Monitoring crop fields to map features like weeds can be efficiently performed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can cover large areas in a short time due to their privileged perspective and motion speed. However, the need for…
Weed and crop segmentation is becoming an increasingly integral part of precision farming that leverages the current computer vision and deep learning technologies. Research has been extensively carried out based on images captured with a…
Computer vision techniques have attracted a great interest in precision agriculture, recently. The common goal of all computer vision-based precision agriculture tasks is to detect the objects of interest (e.g., crop, weed) and…
The growth of weeds poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, necessitating efficient and accurate weed detection and management strategies. The combination of multispectral imaging and drone technology has emerged as a…
In this paper we use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for weed detection in agricultural land. We specifically investigate the application of two CNN layer types, Conv2d and dilated Conv2d, for weed detection in crop fields. The…
Reducing the use of agrochemicals is an important component towards sustainable agriculture. Robots that can perform targeted weed control offer the potential to contribute to this goal, for example, through specialized weeding actions such…
Organic weed control is a vital to improve crop yield with a sustainable approach. In this work, a directed energy weed control robot prototype specifically designed for organic farms is proposed. The robot uses a novel distributed array…
Smart weeding systems to perform plant-specific operations can contribute to the sustainability of agriculture and the environment. Despite monumental advances in autonomous robotic technologies for precision weed management in recent…
Weeds are one of the major reasons for crop yield loss but current weeding practices fail to manage weeds in an efficient and targeted manner. Effective weed management is especially important for crops with high worldwide production such…
An experimental field cropped with sugar-beet with a wide spreading of weeds has been used to test vegetation identification from drone visible imagery. Expert masked and hue-filtered pictures have been used to train several Machine…
Weed scouting is an important part of modern integrated weed management but can be time consuming and sparse when performed manually. Automated weed scouting and weed destruction has typically been performed using classification systems…
Applying agrochemicals is the default procedure for conventional weed control in crop production, but has negative impacts on the environment. Robots have the potential to treat every plant in the field individually and thus can reduce the…
Precision farming robots, which target to reduce the amount of herbicides that need to be brought out in the fields, must have the ability to identify crops and weeds in real time to trigger weeding actions. In this paper, we address the…
To control boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis L.) pest re-infestation in cotton fields, the current practices of volunteer cotton (VC) (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plant detection in fields of rotation crops like corn (Zea mays L.) and sorghum…
