Results
At midway
At project midway, the high-speed detection and the localization of aphids setting on leaves has been validated with filtering algorithms and Artificial Intelligence. We can distinguish various types of aphids and detect the presence of mildew on vine leaves.
It has been demonstrated that it is possible to embark a laser source on an autonomous mobile robot to neutralize aphids. Several types of lasers are being studied and the optimization of their power.
Simulations of a mobile robot featuring a camera and a laser source have been performed. Targeting and mobile-target tracking algorithms (as the robot continuously proceeds) have been proposed.
The first generation prototype has been built to validate experimentally the whole detection-to-neutralization chain in indoor and outdoor conditions.
It should help test various solutions of detection, targeting and laser shooting to optimize the whole and determine the global performance.
The second generation prototype will be built taking into account these results.
Final results
The ANR-17-CE34-0012 Greenshield project ends in October 2021.
We organize a synthesis meeting that will be held in délégation CNRS de Lyon on the Sept 16, 2021 (in French).
An amphitheater has been booked to host up to 95 people (depending on the sanitary rules at that period) and the meeting will be broadcast on the Web.
The access is free but requires booking (either in situ or remotely)
