Satellite crop monitoring has resulted in many developments in the agricultural industry. It is the technology that facilitates real-time crop vegetation index monitoring via spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images for different fields and crops which enables tracking of positive an.....
Variable-rate application in precision agriculture Variable-rate application (VRA) in precision agriculture is an area of technology that focuses on the automated application of materials to a given landscape. In Precision Agriculture, Variable Rate Application (VRA) refers to the application of .....
Precision Agriculture Drones allow farmers to constantly monitor crop and livestock conditions by air to quickly find problems that would not become apparent in ground-level spot checks. Precision agriculture (PA), satellite farming, or site-specific crop management (SSCM) is a farming management.....
Agricultural Drone The process of using a drone to map or survey crops is a relatively straightforward one. An agricultural drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle used to help optimize agriculture operations, increase crop production, and monitor crop growth. This technology has been improving in th.....
Minerals form in all geologic environments and thus under a wide range of chemical and physical conditions, such as varying temperatures and pressure. Mohrite, (NH4)2 Fe(SO4)2·6(H2O), is a rare sulfate mineral originally found in the geothermal fields of Tuscany, Italy. It is a monoclinic-pr.....
Machine vision (MV) is the technology and methods used to provide imaging-based automatic inspection and analysis for such applications as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guidance, usually in industry. It uses sensors, processing hardware, and software algorithms to automate comp.....
