Development of 3 Dimensional Phyto-Topographic Maps for use in Wild Blueberry Production Through the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems
FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-09
Summary
The proposed project focuses on the generation of three dimensional maps of wild blueberry fields and the associated plant canopies, berry fruit zones and yields through the use of unmanned aerial vehicle systems equipped with high resolution digital cameras, and multispectral and light detection and ranging sensors. These 3 dimensional maps will be developed by a new remote sensing research technician position and verified at field level with the use of RTK-GPS and plant, fruit, and pest assessments. These three dimensional maps will provide information on canopy structure and the biotic and abiotic factors impacting berry yield during the growing season, and also GPS information that can be used in farm machinery operations.

Description (French)
Le projet proposé est axé sur le développement de cartes tridimensionnelles de champs de bleuets sauvages et de couverts végétaux associés, de zones de fruits à baies et de récoltes, et ce, grâce à l'utilisation de systèmes de véhicules aériens sans pilote équipés de caméras numériques à haute résolution et de capteurs multispectraux, de détection et de télémétrie par la lumière. Ces cartes tridimensionnelles seront produites grâce à un nouveau poste de technicien de recherche en télédétection et vérifiées sur le terrain à l'aide de la technologie RTK-GPS et d'évaluations des plantes, des fruits et des ravageurs. Ces cartes tridimensionnelles fourniront des informations sur la structure de la voûte végétale et les facteurs biotiques et abiotiques ayant un impact sur la production de baies pendant la saison de croissance, ainsi que des informations GPS pouvant être utilisées dans les opérations de machinerie agricole.
