Fruit detection in an apple orchard using a mobile terrestrial laser scanner
(Academic Press. Published by Elsevier, 2019-09-21)The development of reliable fruit detection and localization systems provides an opportunity to improve the crop value and management by limiting fruit spoilage and optimised harvesting practices. Most proposed systems for ... -
Assessment of spray drift potential reduction for hollow-cone nozzles: Part 1. Classification using indirect methods
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-06-10)Spray drift is one of the main pollution sources identified when pesticides are sprayed on crops. In this work, in order to simplify the evaluation of hollow-cone nozzles according to their drift potential reduction, several ... -
Assessing ranked set sampling and ancillary data to improve fruit load estimates in peach orchards
(Elsevier, 2019-08-08)Fruit load estimation at plot level before harvest is a key issue in fruit growing. To face this challenge, two sampling methods to estimate fruit load in a peach tree orchard were compared: simple random sampling (SRS) ... -
Variable rate dosing in precision viticulture: Use of electronic devices to improve application efficiency
(Elsevier, 2010-03)Two different spray application methods were compared in three vine varieties at different crop stages. A conventional spray application with a constant volume rate per unit ground area (1 ha(-1)) was compared with a ... -
Spatial variability in commercial orange groves. Part 2: relating canopy geometry to soil attributes and historical yield
(Springer, 2018-10-16)Site-specific management strategies are usually dependant on the understanding of the underlying cause and effect relationships that occur at the within-field level. The assessment of canopy geometry of tree crops has been ... -
Spatial variability in commercial orange groves. Part 1: canopy volume and height
(Springer, 2018-09-22)Characterizing crop spatial variability is crucial for estimating the opportunities for site-specific management practices. In the context of tree crops, ranging sensor technology has been developed to assess tree canopy ... -

Assessment of spray drift potential reduction for hollow-cone nozzles: Part 2. LiDAR technique
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-06-11)Pesticide spray drift poses health hazards to humans and causes a significant impact on the environment. In this work the capacity of an ad hoc light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system to differentiate spray nozzles ... -
Multi-modal deep learning for Fuji apple detection using RGB-D cameras and their radiometric capabilities
(Elsevier, 2019-05-10)Fruit detection and localization will be essential for future agronomic management of fruit crops, with applications in yield prediction, yield mapping and automated harvesting. RGB-D cameras are promising sensors for fruit ... -
Stratified sampling in fruit orchards using cluster-based ancillary information maps: a comparative analysis to improve yield and quality estimates
(Springer, 2019-03-25)Estimation of yield or other fruit quality parameter is of great interest to farmers to decide on management actions just before harvesting and, in any case, to anticipate and plan harvesting operations. Making accurate ... -
Application of light detection and ranging and ultrasonic sensors to high-throughput phenotyping and precision horticulture: current status and challenges
(Springer Nature, 2018)Ultrasonic and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors have been some of the most deeply investigated sensing technologies within the scope of digital horticulture. They can accurately estimate geometrical and structural ... -
