MatchPlant: An Open-Source Pipeline for UAV-Based Single-Plant Detection and Data Extraction
Worasit Sangjan, Piyush Pandey, Norman B. Best +1
Accurate identification of individual plants from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images is essential for advancing high-throughput phenotyping and supporting data-driven decision-ma…
Precision yield estimation and mapping in manual strawberry harvesting with instrumented picking carts and a robust data processing pipeline
Uddhav Bhattarai, Rajkishan Arikapudi, Chen Peng +3
High-resolution yield maps for manually harvested crops are impractical to generate on commercial scales because yield monitors are available only for mechanical harvesters. Howeve…
Data-Driven Worker Activity Recognition and Efficiency Estimation in Manual Fruit Harvesting
Uddhav Bhattarai, Rajkishan Arikapudi, Steven A. Fennimore +2
Manual fruit harvesting is common in agriculture, but the amount of time pickers spend on non-productive activities can make it very inefficient. Accurately identifying picking vs.…
Plasmonic Brownian Ratchets for Directed Transport of Analytes
Marciano Palma do Carmo, David Mack, Diane J. Roth +6
Controlled long-range transport of micro- and nano-scale objects is a key requirement in lab-on-a-chip and microfluidic applications, enabling the efficient capture, concentration,…
Unsupervised High Impedance Fault Detection Using Autoencoder and Principal Component Analysis
Yingxiang Liu, Mohammad Razeghi-Jahromi, James Stoupis
Detection of high impedance faults (HIF) has been one of the biggest challenges in the power distribution network. The low current magnitude and diverse characteristics of HIFs mak…
PigV: Monitoring Pig Vital Signs through Ground Vibrations Induced by Heartbeat and Respiration
Yiwen Dong, Jesse R Codling, Gary Rohrer +5
Pig vital sign monitoring (e.g., estimating the heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR)) is essential to understand the stress level of the sow and detect the onset of parturitio…
Recommendations for extending the GFF3 specification for improved interoperability of genomic data
Surya Saha, Scott Cain, Ethalinda K. S. Cannon +8
The GFF3 format is a common, flexible tab-delimited format representing the structure and function of genes or other mapped features (https://github.com/The-Sequence-Ontology/Speci…
Modelling curvature of a bent paper leaf
Sasikanth Raghava Goteti
In this article, we briefly describe various tools and approaches that algebraic geometry has to offer to straighten bent objects. Throughout this article we will consider a specif…
The Use of Agricultural Robots in Orchard Management
Qin Zhang, Manoj Karkee, Amy Tabb
Book chapter that summarizes recent research on agricultural robotics in orchard management, including Robotic pruning, Robotic thinning, Robotic spraying, Robotic harvesting, Robo…
Solving the Robot-World Hand-Eye(s) Calibration Problem with Iterative Methods
Amy Tabb, Khalil M. Ahmad Yousef
Robot-world, hand-eye calibration is the problem of determining the transformation between the robot end-effector and a camera, as well as the transformation between the robot base…
Detecting Invasive Insects with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Brian Stumph, Miguel Hernandez Virto, Henry Medeiros +4
A key aspect to controlling and reducing the effects invasive insect species have on agriculture is to obtain knowledge about the migration patterns of these species. Current state…
Segmenting root systems in X-ray computed tomography images using level sets
Amy Tabb, Keith E. Duncan, Christopher N. Topp
The segmentation of plant roots from soil and other growing media in X-ray computed tomography images is needed to effectively study the root system architecture without excavation…
A robotic vision system to measure tree traits
Amy Tabb, Henry Medeiros
The autonomous measurement of tree traits, such as branching structure, branch diameters, branch lengths, and branch angles, is required for tasks such as robotic pruning of trees…
Fast and robust curve skeletonization for real-world elongated objects
Amy Tabb, Henry Medeiros
We consider the problem of extracting curve skeletons of three-dimensional, elongated objects given a noisy surface, which has applications in agricultural contexts such as extract…
Automatic segmentation of trees in dynamic outdoor environments
Amy Tabb, Henry Medeiros
Segmentation in dynamic outdoor environments can be difficult when the illumination levels and other aspects of the scene cannot be controlled. Specifically in orchard and vineyard…
Scale-Dependent Pedotransfer Functions Reliability for Estimating Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity
Behzad Ghanbarian, Vahid Taslimitehrani, Yakov A. Pachepsky
Saturated hydraulic conductivity Ksat is a fundamental characteristic in modeling flow and contaminant transport in soils and sediments. Therefore, many models have been developed…
Measurement Scale Effect on Prediction of Soil Water Retention Curve and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity
Behzad Ghanbarian, Vahid Taslimitehrani, Guozhu Dong +1
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (SHC) are key hydraulic properties for unsaturated zone hydrology and groundwater. In particular, SWRC provid…
Two-strain competition in quasi-neutral stochastic disease dynamics
Oleg Kogan, Michael Khasin, Baruch Meerson +2
We develop a new perturbation method for studying quasi-neutral competition in a broad class of stochastic competition models, and apply it to the analysis of fixation of competing…
Worldwide Patterns of Ancestry, Divergence, and Admixture in Domesticated Cattle
Jared E. Decker, Stephanie D. McKay, Megan M. Rolf +17
The domestication and development of cattle has considerably impacted human societies, but the histories of cattle breeds have been poorly understood especially for African, Asian,…
The genomic impacts of drift and selection for hybrid performance in maize
Justin P. Gerke, Jode W. Edwards, Katherine E. Guill +2
Modern maize breeding relies upon selection in inbreeding populations to improve the performance of cross-population hybrids. The United States Department of Agriculture - Agricult…
