• Assessment of the Accuracy of a Multi-Beam LED Scanner Sensor for Measuring Olive Canopies 

      Sola Guirado, Rafael Rubén; Bayano-Tejero, Sergio; Rodríguez Lizana, Antonio; Gil Ribes, Jesús; Miranda Fuentes, Antonio (MDPI, 2018)
      Canopy characterization has become important when trying to optimize any kind of agricultural operation in high-growing crops, such as olive. Many sensors and techniques have reported satisfactory results in these approaches ...
    • Testing Accuracy of Long-Range Ultrasonic Sensors for Olive Tree Canopy Measurements 

      Gamarra-Diezma, Juan Luis; Miranda Fuentes, Antonio; Llorens, Jordi; Cuenca, Andrés; Blanco Roldán, Gregorio L.; Rodríguez Lizana, Antonio (MDPI, 2015)
      Ultrasonic sensors are often used to adjust spray volume by allowing the calculation of the crown volume of tree crops. The special conditions of the olive tree require the use of long-range sensors, which are less ...
    • Testing the Suitability of a Terrestrial 2D LiDAR Scanner for Canopy Characterization of Greenhouse Tomato Crops 

      Llop, Jordi; Gil Moya, Emilio; Llorens, Jordi; Miranda Fuentes, Antonio; Gallart, Montserrat (MDPI, 2016)
      Canopy characterization is essential for pesticide dosage adjustment according to vegetation volume and density. It is especially important for fresh exportable vegetables like greenhouse tomatoes. These plants are thin ...
    • Towards an Optimized Method of Olive Tree Crown Volume Measurement 

      Miranda Fuentes, Antonio; Llorens, Jordi; Gamarra-Diezma, Juan Luis; Gil Moya, Emilio; Gil Ribes, Jesús (MDPI, 2015)
      Accurate crown characterization of large isolated olive trees is vital for adjusting spray doses in three-dimensional crop agriculture. Among the many methodologies available, laser sensors have proved to be the most ...
