Programmable Ultrasonic Sensing System for Targeted Spraying in Orchards

Programmable Ultrasonic Sensing System for Targeted Spraying in Orchards

This research demonstrates the basic elements of a prototype automated orchard sprayer which delivers pesticide spray selectively with respect to the characteristics of the targets. The density of an apple tree canopy was detected by PROWAVE 400EP250 ultrasound sensors controlled by a Cypress PSOC C...
