The potential of precision viticulture has been highlighted since the first studies performed in context viticulture, but especially last decade there have excellent results achieved terms innovation and simple application. deployment new sensors for vineyard monitoring is set to increase coming years, enabling large amounts information be obtained. However, number developed great amount data that can collected are not always easy manage, as it requires cross-sectoral expertise. preliminary section review presents scenario highlighting its possible applications. This illustrates types their operating principles. Remote platforms such satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) proximal also presented. Some supervised unsupervised algorithms used object-based image segmentation classification (OBIA) then discussed, well a description some vegetation indices (VI) viticulture. Photogrammetric 3D canopy modelling using dense point clouds illustrated. Finally, machine learning deep illustrated processing interpreting big understand agronomic physiological status. shows perform accurate surveys evaluations, important select appropriate sensor or platform, so post-processing depend on type collected. Several aspects discussed fundamental understanding implementation variability techniques. evident future, artificial intelligence equipment will become increasingly relevant detection management spatial through an autonomous approach.

Remote sensing technology is vital for precision agriculture, aiding in early issue detection, resource management, and environmentally friendly practices. Recent advances remote data processing have propelled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into valuable tools obtaining detailed on plant diseases with high spatial, temporal, spectral resolution. Given the growing body of scholarly research centered UAV-based disease a comprehensive review analysis current studies becomes imperative to provide panoramic view evolving methodologies monitoring strategically evaluate potential limitations such strategies. This study undertakes systematic quantitative literature summarize existing discern trends applications detection monitoring. Results reveal global disparity topic, Asian countries being top contributing (43 out 103 papers). World regions as Oceania Africa exhibit comparatively lesser representation. To date, has largely focused affecting wheat, sugar beet, potato, maize, grapevine. Multispectral, reg-green-blue, hyperspectral sensors were most often used detect identify symptoms, pointing approaches integrating multiple use machine learning deep techniques. Future should prioritize (i) development cost-effective user-friendly UAVs, (ii) integration emerging agricultural technologies, (iii) improved acquisition efficiency (iv) diverse testing scenarios, (v) ethical considerations through proper regulations.

Grapevine phenotyping is the process of determining physical properties (e.g., size, shape, and number) grape bunches berries. information provides valuable characteristics to monitor sanitary status vine. Knowing number dimensions berries at an early stage development relevant winegrowers about yield be harvested. However, counting measuring usually done manually, which laborious time-consuming. Previous studies have attempted implement bunch detection on red in vineyards with leaf removal surveys been using ground vehicles handled cameras. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) mounted RGB cameras, along computer vision techniques offer a cheap, robust, timesaving alternative. Therefore, Multi-object tracking segmentation (MOTS) utilized this study determine traits individual white from videos obtained UAV acquired over commercial vineyard high density leaves. To achieve goal two datasets labelled images measurements were created made available public repository. PointTrack algorithm was used for detecting bunches, instance algorithms - YOLACT Spatial Embeddings compared finding most suitable approach detect It found that performs adequately cluster MODSA 93.85. For tracking, results not sufficient when trained 679 frames.This automated pipeline extraction several described by International Organization Vine Wine (OIV) descriptors. The selected OIV descriptors are length, width, shape (codes 202, 203, 208, respectively) berry 220, 221, 223, respectively). Lastly, comparison regarding detected per indicated assessed more accurately (79.5%) than (44.6%).

With the rapid development of object detection technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it is convenient to collect data from UAV photographs. They have a wide range applications in several fields, such as monitoring, geological exploration, precision agriculture, and disaster early warning. In recent years, many methods based on artificial intelligence been proposed detection, deep learning key area this field. Significant progress has achieved deep-learning-based detection. Thus, paper presents review research This survey provides an overview UAVs summarizes UAVs. addition, issues are analyzed, small under complex backgrounds, rotation, scale change, category imbalance problems. Then, some representative solutions these summarized. Finally, future directions field discussed.
