Collaborative project: Smart vision sensor for site-specific herbicide spraying in real-time operation 2 (H-Sensor 2) – Subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2815306907
Contract period: 15.06.2011
- 14.06.2013
Budget: 239,604 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The development of a functional sensor system for real-time weed detection has been the target goal of the joint venture project. It consists of four cameras, special cable structure, central processing unit and terminal including operating software. For the first time a sensor-based herbicide application in real time is possible. The H-Sensor is able to differentiate between crops, mono-and dicotyledonous weeds, as well as economically important weeds such as cleavers and thistles. Agronomic decision rules, stored in special software, take spraying decisions depending on estimated weed coverage, and forwarded them to individual sections of the sprayer. That is what makes site-specific herbicide application possible and herbicides are applied only where it is necessary. Data management systems make it possible to create weed distribution maps and apply herbicides according to these maps. A map overlay is also possible.
