Developing a non-contact, fault detection system for airblast-type orchard and vineyard sprayers with simplistic visual operator interface
SBC: APPLICATION INSIGHT, LLC Topic: 813Nozzle clogging on orchard and vineyard sprayers is a problem that often isn't addressed until the nozzle(or multiple nozzles) are inoperable to the point that an operator can visually detect the fault. By then anunknown portion of the field has been sprayed inadequately since the fault was not immediately detected.We propose a technology that continually monitors a sprayer via imaging and which w ...
