1. Development of Canopy Mapping System of Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning

In this paper, the canopy mapping system (CMS) of Asian pears for estimating yield during Bud thinning and Pruning operations using point cloud data was proposed. Bud thinning and Pruning in Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) is necessary to ensure quality and yield but is time-consuming and heavily depends on work knowledge. This study described a method of estimating the number of fruits through the length of a branch based on remote sensing. The CMS would be useful to support more efficient... E. Morimoto, J. Lee, K.

2. Development of Lodging Direction Determination System Using Image Processing

In this study, image processing system was developed for application on rice plants to determine lodging condition, which was contributing factor to declining harvester efficiency by using combine harvester. Therefore, We developed a system for determination of the lodging direction by algorithm based on convolutional neural network (CNN). As for deep learning framework, Pytorch1.1.0 were used to train and test the judging direction. GoogLeNet was used as a pre-trained CNN model. Lodging... E. Morimoto, Y. Arai, K. Nonami, T. Ito

3. Effect of Different Combinations of N, P and K Nutrients on Growth, Yield and Fibre Quality of Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.)

Cotton has high requirements for nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and the nutrients interact differently on yield and quality of this crop. This necessitates the precise combination of these nutrients to maximize yield and quality. Two cotton varieties (Bt cotton and a conventionally bred variety, HART 89M) were assessed for growth, yield and quality under different nutrient combinations in two contrasting environments in semi-arid Kenya. Nutrient combinations were NPK,...
