A Field Study on LiDAR Sensor for Unmanned Ground Vehicle Navigation Application in Precision Agriculture
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
LiDAR sensor’s mapping and detection abilities make these sensors an important tool for research on navigation and object detection for robots and vehicles. This study used a ground robot and LiDAR sensor to collect ...
Using UAS Imagery and Computer Vision to Support Site-Specific Weed Control in Corn
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Currently, a blanket application of herbicides across the field without considering the spatial distribution of weeds is the most used method to control weeds in corn. Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) can provide high spatial ...
Design and Development of an Automatic Steering System for Agricultural Towed Implements
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
While an auto steered tractor can improve the overall accuracy and efficiency of an operation, for operations that involve towing an implement, a significant portion of the efficiency reduction comes from uncontrolled ...
Rangeland Forage Growth Prediction, Logistics, Energy, and Economics Analysis and Tool Development Using Open-Source Software
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Forage availability was crucial for livestock production across the United States. Rangelands occupied vast areas 31 % of land and were the primary source of forage for livestock. However, extreme climatic conditions such ...
