Forest Aboveground Biomass Estimation Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Light Detection and Ranging and Machine Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
is a widely planted species in plantation forests because of its outstanding characteristics, such as fast growth rate and high adaptability. Accurate and rapid prediction of biomass is important for plantation forest management and the prediction ...

A Framework for Measuring Tree Rings Based on Panchromatic Images and Deep Learning.

Plant, cell & environment
Tree-ring data are pivotal for decoding the age and growth patterns of trees, reflecting the impact of environmental factors over time. Addressing the significant shortcomings of traditional, labour-intensive and resource-demanding methods, we propos...

Developing Machine Vision in Tree-Fruit Applications-Fruit Count, Fruit Size and Branch Avoidance in Automated Harvesting.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent developments in affordable depth imaging hardware and the use of 2D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in object detection and segmentation have accelerated the adoption of machine vision in a range of applications, with mainstream models oft...

A Hybrid convolution neural network for the classification of tree species using hyperspectral imagery.

PloS one
In recent years, the advancement of hyperspectral remote sensing technology has greatly enhanced the detailed mapping of tree species. Nevertheless, delving deep into the significance of hyperspectral remote sensing data features for tree species rec...

Sooty Mold Detection on Citrus Tree Canopy Using Deep Learning Algorithms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sooty mold is a common disease found in citrus plants and is characterized by black fungi growth on fruits, leaves, and branches. This mold reduces the plant's ability to carry out photosynthesis. In small leaves, it is very difficult to detect sooty...

Soundscapes and deep learning enable tracking biodiversity recovery in tropical forests.

Nature communications
Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the pace of biodiversity recovery remains contentious. Here, we use bioacoustics...

Long-lead streamflow forecasting using computational intelligence methods while considering uncertainty issue.

Environmental science and pollution research international
While some robust artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as Gene-Expression Programming (GEP), Model Tree (MT), and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) have been frequently employed in the field of water resources, documents aimed to...

Fruit Sizing in Orchard: A Review from Caliper to Machine Vision with Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Forward estimates of harvest load require information on fruit size as well as number. The task of sizing fruit and vegetables has been automated in the packhouse, progressing from mechanical methods to machine vision over the last three decades. Thi...

Adapting small jumping robots to compliant environments.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Jumping animals launch themselves from surfaces that vary widely in compliance from grasses and shrubs to tree branches. However, studies of robotic jumpers have been largely limited to those jumping from rigid substrates. In this paper, we leverage ...

Drone-assisted collection of environmental DNA from tree branches for biodiversity monitoring.

Science robotics
The protection and restoration of the biosphere is crucial for human resilience and well-being, but the scarcity of data on the status and distribution of biodiversity puts these efforts at risk. DNA released into the environment by organisms, i.e., ...
