Abstract :
[en] As unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) remote sensing technology has advanced, providing unprecedented resolution, crop status at the individual plant level has become popular. Often plant detection is performed using high resolution RGB cameras that utilize algorithms and machine learning methods centered around trained pixel patterns of object textures. Similar methods with UAS LiDAR are not as explored considering their more recent UAS adaptation and the significantly larger price tag. Methods that have been created center around individual tree detection using crown delineations utilizing the height information and local maximum filtering. This study explores if this methodology can be used in a similar way for crops such as maize.
