The @WeedControlLab is at the AgSmart Expo today in Tamworth with the @pbinarrabri team.
Come say hello and find out more about the #OpenWeedLocator and see the Digital Farmhand robot!
@SiaSydney @AusAgritech
The software, hardware, guides & supporting preprint for the OpenWeedLocator (OWL) are now available.
OWL is an entirely open-source, low cost, image-based green-on brown weed detection device run on the @Raspberry_Pi.

Blanket spraying of herbicides in low weed density situations could become a thing of the past as new weed recognition technologies enable site-specific weed control in-crop 🌾

A hard day's work for the #openweedlocator and the Agerris Digital Farm Hand in muddy conditions at @pbinarrabri.
@SiaSydney
The #OpenSpotSprayer is a low cost, opensource and simple approach to weed detection. It uses off the shelf items and simple colour-based code to pick out green weeds. Here it is mounted on the Digital Farm Hand robot @pbinarrabri.
Full code and guide released soon.

Fridays are for field tests!
With a new graphical user interface, new algorithms (on synthetic and field data) & better targeting we took Ginny the ginger weeding robot out to our test area.
Still some false positives but overall improving well!

Weeds in ginger are a big issue, so we've been working on site-specific delivery options for Ginger @AgriFuturesAU.
This is the first prototype of the 3-axis gantry system, combining weed ID (broadleaf/grass), differential spraying and delivery.
