Published purpose

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.
