Poultry farms are a major contributor to the human food chain. However, around the world, there have been growing concerns about the quality of life for the livestock in poultry farms; and increasingly vocal demands for improved standards…
Insects comprise millions of species, many experiencing severe population declines under environmental and habitat changes. High-throughput approaches are crucial for accelerating our understanding of insect diversity, with DNA barcoding…
Future food security is a major concern of the 21st century with the growing global population and climate changes. In addressing these challenges, protected cropping ensures food production year-round and increases crop production per land…
Implementing insect monitoring systems provides an excellent opportunity to create accurate interventions for insect control. However, selecting the appropriate time for an intervention is still an open question due to the inherent…
Accurate insect pest recognition plays a critical role in agriculture. It is a challenging problem due to the intricate characteristics of insects. In this paper, we present DeWi, novel learning assistance for insect pest classification.…
Pests and diseases are relevant factors for production losses in agriculture and, therefore, promote a huge investment in the prevention and detection of its causative agents. In many countries, Integrated Pest Management is the most widely…
The ability to estimate invertebrate biomass using only images could help scaling up quantitative biodiversity monitoring efforts. Computer vision-based methods have the potential to omit the manual, time-consuming, and destructive process…
This paper presents a dataset of agricultural pest images captured over five years by thousands of small holder farmers and farming extension workers across India. The dataset has been used to support a mobile application that relies on…
Monitoring of colonial waterbird nesting islands is essential to tracking waterbird population trends, which are used for evaluating ecosystem health and informing conservation management decisions. Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles, or…
Pest infestations pose a significant risk to both the quality and quantity of stored grain, resulting in substantial economic losses. Accurate and timely pest monitoring is essential, but traditional methods are time-consuming and…
Pathogen control is a critical aspect of modern poultry farming, providing important benefits for both public health and productivity. Effective poultry management measures to reduce pathogen levels in poultry flocks promote food safety by…
The rapid global loss of biodiversity, particularly among insects, represents an urgent ecological crisis. Current methods for insect species discovery are manual, slow, and severely constrained by taxonomic expertise, hindering timely…
This study presents a vision-guided robotic control system for automated fruit tree pruning applications. Traditional pruning practices are labor-intensive and limit agricultural efficiency and scalability, highlighting the need for…
In this work we develop a novel insect-inspired model for visual point-goal navigation. This combines abstracted models of two insect brain structures that have been implicated, respectively, in associative learning and path integration. We…
This study presents Flower Pose Estimation (FloPE), a real-time flower pose estimation framework for computationally constrained robotic pollination systems. Robotic pollination has been proposed to supplement natural pollination to ensure…
Use of sensors and related analytical predictions can be a powerful tool in providing data-informed input to viticulturalists' decision process, complementing their vineyard observations and intuition. Their up-to-date measurements,…
Pollinators are critical to the world's ecosystems and food supply, yet recent studies have found pollination shortfalls in several crops, including strawberry. This is troubling because wild and managed pollinators are currently…
We present a novel fruit counting pipeline that combines deep segmentation, frame to frame tracking, and 3D localization to accurately count visible fruits across a sequence of images. Our pipeline works on image streams from a monocular…
Poultry farming faces increasing pressure to meet productivity targets while ensuring animal welfare and environmental compliance. Yet many small and medium-sized farms lack affordable, integrated tools for continuous monitoring and…
The behavioural research of pigs can be greatly simplified if automatic recognition systems are used. Especially systems based on computer vision have the advantage that they allow an evaluation without affecting the normal behaviour of the…
