Automatic Leaf Motion Analysis Using Optical Flow To Diagnose Plant Behavior In Response To Environmental Changes

by

Abstract: We have proposed an automatic leaf motion analysis based on Infrared (IR) photography. The proposed system allows continuous, high-resolution time-lapse imaging, independent of the present of visible light, and based on open source platform. The utilization of microcomputer as a capturing unit might increase the simplicity and flexibility. The IR camera positioned above the … Read more

Study on Plant Motion Measurement and Analysis Utilizing Computer Vision: Development of Automatic Plant Motion Analysis using Optical Flow

by

Plants, like other living things, have biological clocks that allow them to respond the changes in time and environment1). At day, plants do photosynthesis to produce carbohydrate such as sugar. While at night, plants distribute the stored the carbohydrate to grow leaves, stem flowers, fruits, and roots. Analysis of plant growth and motion at night … Read more

Development of Smart Cloud-based Irrigation Controller: Real-time Evapotranspiration Monitoring in Tomato Greenhouse

by

The smart irrigation controller is a controller that reduces water use by monitoring and utilizing site environmental information and applying the right amount of water. These controllers receive feedback from the irrigated system and adjust irrigation duration and/or frequency accordingly. There are generally two types of smart controllers: climatologically based and soil moisture-based. Climatologically based … Read more

Research on Agricultural Informatics – Utilization of ICT to Improve The Agricultural Production System in Tropical Country

by

Environmental conditions is important factor affects the agricultural production system. In four seasons country like Japan, weather condition during cultivation can be fully controlled by utilization of greenhouse and environmental management. Microclimate manipulator can be managed automatically based on environmental evaluation. However, in tropical country like Indonesia, utilization of automatic control on greenhouse for agricultural … Read more

Deployment of Agricultural Information System – Installation and Utilization of Field Monitoring System on Agricultural Production in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

by

Agriculture is remaining to be a strategic sector in Indonesia. Besides its growth, there are also several challenges. Among others is the optimization of the agricultural production system. Practically, Indonesian farmers have improved their own cultivation technique and senses from their long-term accumulated experiences, includes knowledge about climate, weather, soil, crop type, etc. In this … Read more

Development of Actuation Framework for Agricultural Informatization Supporting System

by

Agriculture faces many challenges in the production system, such as climate and weather, field conditions, crop types, soils types and conditions, and so on. Farmers consider many aspects to optimize the “on-farm” process by their long-term experiences. Various informatization agricultural supporting systems have been developed using ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to improve agricultural productivity. … Read more
