Standard Digital Camera and AI Pair for Soil Monitoring

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ADELAIDE, Australia, March 17, 2021 — Digital cameras and machine learning technology can provide a cost-effective method of monitoring soil moisture, according to new work from the University of South Australia and Middle Technical University (Iraq). The technology aims to address current difficulties with sensing soil moisture, such as buried sensors that are vulnerable to salts in the substrate and require specialized hardware or connections, and expensive thermal imaging cameras that can be susceptible to climatic conditions such as sunlight intensity, fog, and clouds. The team’s approach uses a standard RGB...Read full article

    Glossary
    neural network
    A computing paradigm that attempts to process information in a manner similar to that of the brain; it differs from artificial intelligence in that it relies not on pre-programming but on the acquisition and evolution of interconnections between nodes. These computational models have shown extensive usage in applications that involve pattern recognition as well as machine learning as the interconnections between nodes continue to compute updated values from previous inputs.
    digital
    Denoting the use of binary notation; i.e., the representation of data by bits (1 or 0).
    video
    Referring to the bandwidth and spectrum location of the signal produced by television or radar scanning.
    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
