The swir detector will be integrated into the Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Monitoring satellite, and will measure surface temperatures of land experiencing drought
Outfield analyses aerial images of orchards using machine learning to predict crop yield
Farmers are starting to reap the rewards of robotics and machine vision, as Keely Portway finds out
This white paper explores how machine vision automates and optimises processes in agriculture. From industrial-scale agricultural enterprises to small farms, everyone is relying more on digital technologies in line with smart farming.
Raptor Photonics has published an application note describing how researchers from the University of Applied Science Koblenz have developed an imaging system for airborne monitoring of farmland
Cyberworks Robotics, in partnership with Framos, Intel RealSense technology, AWS Fleet Management, and Fernlea Flower, have announced a self-driving add-on platform that can be applied to agriculture electric tow-tugs
Keely Portway looks at the trials and tribulations of bringing new technology to market, particularly in a pandemic
Photonics applications are emerging in farms, such as the use of UAVs for monitoring soil and crop health or water supply quality. The purpose is to discuss with end-users opportunities in this sector for lidar, hyperspectral imaging, laser systems or fiber sensors.
How will the world feed 10 billion people by 2050 with no new land for agriculture? Greg Blackman speaks to machine builder Bühler about how optical sensing can maximise yield in grain processing
The Harvesters (1565), by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Greg Blackman speaks to Dr Richard Dudley about the National Physical Laboratory’s 3D imaging rig, which will be scanning wheat in crop breeding trials this summer
Researchers at Earlham Institute have developed a machine learning platform to categorise lettuce crops using computer vision and aerial images
