Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours. Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »

Introduction Many row crop operations such as tillage, planting, spraying, and spreading require that a tractor and implement make multiple, equal-width parallel swaths through the field. To maximize field efficiency and crop yields, operators must drive accurately to avoid excessive overlaps or gaps in field coverage. Traditionally, visual guidance systems such as mechanical and foam… read more »
Introduction Computer vision is an interdisciplinary scientific field that deals with how computers can be made to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos. From the perspective of engineering, it seeks to automate tasks that the human visual system can do.[1][2][3] In agriculture computer vision can be used for procedures such as row… read more »

Paper Introduction In recent years, there have been major advances in the development of new and more powerful perception systems for agriculture, such as computer-vision and global positioning systems. Due to these advances, the automation of agricultural tasks has received an important stimulus, especially in the area of selective weed control where high precision is… read more »
Paper Introduction The automation of agricultural tasks has received an important stimulus, especially in the area of selective weed control where high precision is essential for the proper use of resources and the implementation of more efficient treatments. Autonomous agricultural systems incorporate and integrate perception systems for acquiring information from the environment, decision-making systems for… read more »

Introduction Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus.[1] They are used primarily as a bittering, flavouring, and stability agent in beer, to which, in addition to bitterness, they impart floral, fruity, or citrus flavours and aromas.[2] Hops are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine. The hop plant is usually… read more »
