Innovative Techniques for Agricultural Monitoring: Combining Technology and Biology

Innovative Techniques for Agricultural Monitoring: Combining Technology and Biology

m

May 8, 2023

Department of Remote Sensing at the University of Würzburg began our first fieldwork during the stunning oilseed rape flowering season. We are using cutting-edge technology to revolutionise the way we monitor crops.
In collaboration with biologists, our team uses lidar and multispectral drones to calculate crop yields and classify flower covers of oilseed rape. We can make informed decisions about fertilisation, irrigation, and pest control by correlating our results with in-situ measurements of several flowers and pollinators. This research is essential for promoting agricultural sustainability and minimising our impact on the environment.
Join us on this exciting journey towards a more sustainable future for agriculture. We eagerly anticipate sharing our results and promoting open-access principles to ensure our findings reach as many people as possible!

Mapping an active fire with various drones flying in parallel is hard enough. But getting the data processed, evaluated and turned into research datasets is a different story. The publication is on its way, and for now we’d like to share a dashboard by Antonio José...

Thermal Drone Data Acquisitions: CalVal project with Informatics

Thermal cameras on drones look very good - visually. They show us temperature of our study objects be it stressed trees, warm patches in a city or active fires. But we do not yet know for sure how far we can trust the temperature values they deliver especially when...

bzgl. Art. 50 Verordnung (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act):

Überwiegend werden eigene originäre Texte und Bilder des EORC genutzt, jedoch sind einige Inhalte von blog post Texten teilweise mit Hilfe von KI überarbeitet worden und einige Bilder sind ganz mit KI erstellt, die jedoch deutlich keine photorealistische Darstellungen abbilden. Aussnahmen sind KI generierte fernerkundliche Datensätze, die explizit für Forschungszwecke mit KI erstellt wurden, hier wird aber durch den assoziierten Text der wissenschaftliche Grund der KI generierten Bilder erläutert.
