Intelligent Agricultural Cultivation Support System Integrating UAV Surveillance
Core Technologies
This research project aims to establish an intelligent agricultural cultivation support system, by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance and artificial intelligent (AI) analytical techniques. Three major tasks are proposed including forming a UAV multi-source image database, developing relevant AI image process technologies, and establishing a UAV image analysis cloud platform. We have developed various of models and applications, such as seedling positioning and counting, leaf color and plant height analysis, yield prediction, grain moisture content assessment, damage assessment and crop recognition by using Convolutional Neural Networks with edge computing capabilities on rice’s UAV multi-source image data . We also developed a cloud platform of Aerial Agriculture Analysis for tasks, such as image mosaicking, image texture analysis, vegetation index analysis, and 3D model construction functions.
