Traditional methods of hail damage estimation, conducted by insurance field inspectors, have been questioned due to their complexity, partial subjectivity, and lack of accounting for spatial variability. Therefore, remote sensing integration in the estimation process could provide a valuable aid. The focus of this study was on winter wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) and its response to damage in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region, with a particular emphasis on the study of brown pigments as a proxy for yield damage estimation and mapping. An experiment was conducted during two cropping seasons (2020–2021 and 2021–2022) at two sites, simulating hail damage at critical flowering and milky stages using a specifically designed prototype machinery with low, medium, and high damage gradients compared to undamaged conditions in plots with a minimum of 400 m<sup>2</sup> area. After the damage simulation, hyperspectral visible-NIR reflectance was measured with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flights, and measurements of chlorophyll and of leaf area index (LAI) were contextually taken. Final yield per treatment was recorded using a combine. An increase in absorbance in the NIR region (780–950 nm) was observed and evaluated using a spectral mixture analysis (SMA) after selecting representative damaged and undamaged vegetation spectra to map the damage. The abundance of damaged endmember pixels per treatment resulted in a good relationship with the final yield (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.73), identifying the most damaged areas. The absorbance feature was further analysed with a newly designed multispectral index (TAI), which was tested against a selection of indices and resulted in the highest relationship with the final yield (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.64).

Additionally, tree age exhibits a linear correlation when trees over 20 years correlate with up to 4% less cracking.

While many spectral indices have been proposed for CNC monitoring, their applicability and accuracy are often adversely affected by confounding factors such as aboveground biomass (AGB), crop type, growth stages, and environmental conditions, limiting their broader application and adoption; with AGB being one of the most dominant signals and confounding factors at canopy scale. The confounding effect can become more challenging as AGB is also physiologically linked with CNC across the growth stages. Additionally, the interplay between index form, selection of optimal wavebands and their bandwidths remains poorly understood for CNC index design. This study proposes robust and cost-effective 2- and 4-waveband multispectral (MS) CNC indices applicable across a wide range of crop conditions. We collected 449 canopy reflectance spectra (400–980 nm) together with corresponding CNC and AGB measurements across four growth stages of ryegrass (winter and summer), and five growth stages of barley (winter-spring) in Victoria, Australia, in 2018 and 2019.

Thinning automation requires motion planning based on feature extraction from a segmented fruit bunch and its components. Previous research with focused bunch images attained high success in bunch component segmentation but less success in establishing correct association between the two components (a rachis and spikelets) that form one bunch. The current study presents an algorithm for improved component segmentation and association in the presence of occlusions based on integrating deep neural networks, traditional methods building on bunch geometry, and active vision. Following segmentation with Mask-R-CNN, segmented component images are converted to binary images with a Savitzky–Golay filter and an adapted Otsu threshold. Bunch orientation is calculated based on lines found in the binary image with the Hough transform. The orientation is used for associating a rachis with spikelets. If a suitable rachis is not found, bunch orientation is used for selecting a better viewpoint. The method was tested with two databases of bunches in an orchard, one with focused and one with non-focused images. In all images, the spikelets were correctly identified [intersection over union (IoU) 0.5: F1 0.9]. The average orientation errors were 18.15° (SD 12.77°) and 16.44° (SD 11.07°), respectively, for the focused and non-focused databases. For correct rachis selection, precision was very high when incorporating orientation, and when additionally incorporating active vision recall (and therefore F1) was high (IoU 0.5: orientation: precision 0.94, recall 0.44, F1 0.60; addition of active vision: precision 0.96, recall 0.61, F1 0.74). The developed method leads to highly accurate identification of fruit bunches and their spikelets and rachis, making it suitable for integration with a thinning automation system.</p>","PeriodicalId":20423,"journal":{"name":"Precision Agriculture","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71417336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
