The usage of drones and rovers helps to overcome the limitations of traditional agriculture which has been predominantly human-intensive, for carrying out tasks such as removal of weeds and spraying of fertilizers and pesticides. Drones and…
Agriculture has always remained an integral part of the world. As the human population keeps on rising, the demand for food also increases, and so is the dependency on the agriculture industry. But in today's scenario, because of low yield,…
Monitoring of reforestation is currently being considerably streamlined through the use of drones and image recognition algorithms, which have already proven to be effective on colour imagery. In addition to colour imagery, elevation data…
As the burden of herbicide resistance grows and the environmental costs of excessive herbicide use become clear, new approaches to managing weed populations are needed. This is particularly true for cereal crops, like wheat and barley, that…
This paper presents COT-AD, a comprehensive Dataset designed to enhance cotton crop analysis through computer vision. Comprising over 25,000 images captured throughout the cotton growth cycle, with 5,000 annotated images, COT-AD includes…
Automatic weeding technologies have attained a lot of attention lately, because of the harms and challenges weeds are causing for livestock farming, in addition to that weeds reduce yields. We are targeting automatic and mechanical Rumex…
Precision agriculture leverages data and machine learning so that farmers can monitor their crops and target interventions precisely. This enables the precision application of herbicide only to weeds, or the precision application of…
Weeds are a major threat to crops and are responsible for reducing crop yield worldwide. To mitigate their negative effect, it is advantageous to accurately identify them early in the season to prevent their spread throughout the field.…
Vision-based navigation systems in arable fields are an underexplored area in agricultural robot navigation. Vision systems deployed in arable fields face challenges such as fluctuating weed density, varying illumination levels, growth…
The evolution of smaller, faster processors and cheaper digital storage mechanisms across the last 4-5 decades has vastly increased the opportunity to integrate intelligent technologies in a wide range of practical environments to address a…
Selective weeding is one of the key challenges in the field of agriculture robotics. To accomplish this task, a farm robot should be able to accurately detect plants and to distinguish them between crop and weeds. Most of the promising…
We present a novel weed segmentation and mapping framework that processes multispectral images obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a deep neural network (DNN). Most studies on crop/weed semantic segmentation only consider…
Accurate crop row detection is often challenged by the varying field conditions present in real-world arable fields. Traditional colour based segmentation is unable to cater for all such variations. The lack of comprehensive datasets in…
We present a specialized procedural model for generating synthetic agricultural scenes, focusing on soybean crops, along with various weeds. This model is capable of simulating distinct growth stages of these plants, diverse soil…
Accurately counting maize tassels is important for monitoring the growth status of maize plants. This tedious task, however, is still mainly done by manual efforts. In the context of modern plant phenotyping, automating this task is…
We report promising results for high-throughput on-field soybean pod count with small mobile robots and machine-vision algorithms. Our results show that the machine-vision based soybean pod counts are strongly correlated with soybean yield.…
The use of an efficient coverage planning method is key for autonomous navigation in agricultural environments, where a robot must cover large areas of crops. This paper generally reviews the current state of the art of coverage path…
Over the past decade, unprecedented progress in the development of neural networks influenced dozens of different industries, including weed recognition in the agro-industrial sector. The use of neural networks in agro-industrial activity…
Effective seed sowing in precision agriculture is hindered by challenges such as residue accumulation, low soil temperatures, and hair pinning (crop residue pushed in the trench by furrow opener), which obstruct optimal trench formation.…
We study a semantic SLAM problem faced by a robot tasked with autonomous weeding under the corn canopy. The goal is to detect corn stalks and localize them in a global coordinate frame. This is a challenging setup for existing algorithms…
