Sensor comparison for grass growth estimation [Farmer]
Paper Introduction
Precision agriculture has been implemented in various cultivation operations for various crops. Recently, autonomous mower tractor with variable rate fertilization has been tried. Variable rate fertilization requires quantification of grass growth level. Objective of this study was to compare the performance of potential sensors under different growth levels and sensor operation conditions. Effects of sensor mounting height and angle were investigated. Results showed that sensor mounting height had a little effect on the sensor performance, and grass growth level was successfully quantified. [1]
