Yadav, Pappu Kumar (2022-07-25)In the past few years, computer vision (CV) has made significant progress due to successive improvements in computing hardware alongside machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms. The progressive improvements ...
-
Whittaker, Alan Dale (1983)A mechanism has been designed to separate individual onion transplant cells from a continous polyethylene bandoleer belt using a series of 19 gauge, nichrome resistance wires mounted on an eight inch aluminum disc. The ...
-
Brandon, Joseph Robert (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Computer algorithms were developed for generating the guidance parameters necessary to steer an agricultural tractor in field operations. A variety of operations were considered in order that the guidance program be general ...
-
Borgelt, Steven Charles (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Land areas may have considerable variation in characteristics that affect crop production such as different soil types or fertility levels. For optimum farm management this spatial variability should be taken into account. ...
-
Reid, John Franklin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Image processing algorithms were developed and tested for computing a guidance signal for an agricultural tractor traveling on row crops. Field images of various row crops were recorded on videotape with a tractor-mounted ...
-
Hardin, Robert Glen (2011-10-21)Properly constructed modules will prevent reduced lint value and increased ginning costs when significant rainfall occurs. Additionally, cotton producers often have difficulty finding adequate labor during harvest. These ...
-
Geiger, David William (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The recommended procedures for implementing COTMAN; a cotton management expert system; suggest frequent crop scouting at numerous locations for each field. Machine based height sensors coupled with the ability to spatially ...
-
Evans, Mark David (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)A combined analytical and experimental approach was used to develop the equations of motion of a 1/6 scale cable drawn model disk harrow. The lateral deviation was found to be a linear combination of the lateral force ...
-
Kotzabassis, Constantinos (Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University, 1991)An integrated expert system for farm machinery management, titled Farm-machinery Analysis, Research and Management (FARM), was developed I at the Agricultural Engineering Department of Texas A&M University for use on ...
-
Howarth, Matthew Scott (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)A machine vision system was developed to inspect fresh-market carrots. Software and hardware components were designed and developed into a working inspection system, INSPECT. The main objectives of this study were to ...
-
Joost, Darryl M. (1985)A computer model was developed to simulate the steering and gear shifting functions of a tractor. The model was used to test the use of audio and visual operator feedback methods used in machine monitors. Five operators ...
-
Bae, Yeong Hwan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Recently the need to treat agricultural fields as variable entities has been recognized. A practical example is the optimization of fertilizer application rates according to natural variability of soil type. It has also ...
-
Ge, Yufeng (2009-05-15)The overarching goal of this dissertation project was to address several fundamental aspects of applying site-specific crop management for fiber quality in cotton production. A two-year (2005 and 2006) field study was ...
-
Shangguan, Lantian (2020-04-14)In crop harvesting, a combine travels around in the field to collect grain while a grain cart commutes between the combine and a semi-trailer by the roadside to transport the grain. There are several problems associated ...
-
An, Heungjo (2012-02-14)The purpose of this dissertation is to provide an effective approach to design the supply chain (SC) of the cellulosic biofuel industry in order that it will support and accelerate the successful commercialization of the ...
-
Bagnall, George Cody (2020-08-19)Sensors are increasingly being used in agricultural settings to provide data on the physical characteristics of plants under field conditions. Accurate data provides researchers and producers with the ability to make ...
-
Stabile, Marcelo de Castro Chaves (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The use of site-specific data can enhance management decisions in the field. Three different uses of site-specific data were evaluated and their outcomes are promising. Historical yield data from yield monitors and height ...
-
Clouse, Randy Wayne (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Limited water supplies for agriculture in the Texas High Plains will require new irrigation technologies and techniques for agriculture to continue in this area. The potential for using one such technology, site-specific ...
-
Hardin, Robert Glen (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Modules for cotton storage and transport should be constructed with a shape that will resist collecting water to maintain the quality of seed cotton during storage. Meeting this specification requires knowledge of the ...
-
Simpson, Shay; Searcy, Stephen W. (2006-07-21)Cotton that is not well protected from the elements loses quality and value as it waits to be ginned. This publication explains the effect of a good cotton module tarp on turnout, ginning rate and lint value.
