1P2-V02 Digital Map Archiving Using Multi-Copter and Its application to Citrus Tree Breeding(Robotics and Mechatronics in Agriculture)

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop an end-to-end system of high-resolution digital map archiving. In the system, multicopter, Cinestar6, is used. By using multicopter, we perform low-altitude photography and collect some set of videos. We extract the videos into frames and perform feature extraction to generate feature points. Then, the image alignment based on the feature point is performed to generate panorama image. Last, super-resolution algorithm is used to increase the resolution. To see the effectiveness of the system, we applied to citrus tree breeding problem. The task is to recombine the DNA to breed new varieties. By using this system, each plant could be tracked, observed, and analyzed to get relevant the information for the expert.
