Outline of Final Research Achievements

Field monitoring system with movable function becomes important for smart agriculture. I proposed a mobile robotic Field Server that collects a large amount of image data by walking around agricultural fields. To extract useful information from collected image data, I developed an ensemble image analysis system. To demonstrate the system, I also developed some applications to provide panoramic view of target fields and 3D reconstruction data of target fruits by combining related image data based on feature points.
