1. Engineering Solutions for Biomass Feedstock Production - Pre-harvest Crop Monitoring System
2. Automatic Ground Control Point Data Control through Autonomous Mobile Robot
In the ground-based high resolution remote sensing system, GCPs are usually artificially marks which are placed in the field manually.
The positions of GCPs are measured using RTK GPS. However, if the number of GCP increases, the data collection process could be
time consuming and labor intensive. Another important concern, the personal operation and the external environment severely impacts
the measurement accuracy of ground reference system.
3. Development of Low Cost Real Time Vegetation Index Measurement Sensor
‘Ag-Eye’ is a tiny image sensor for real time NDVI measurement. Utilizing this RGB CMOS sensor derives accurate
and comparable NDVI value of plants to the high-price multi-spectral camera. The research focused on the adaptation
of the “Ag-Eye” to eliminate the interference of the soil background. The tiny sensor gets the NDVI measurement
either automatically or manually with high accuracy. The features involves in the Ag-Eye: Ultra low cost, 0.3MegaPixels
RGB CMOS sensor; reduce the infections and interference of the soil background to the value of NDVI measurement;
Data storage and transmission capability.

Optic-based droplet measurement system
Measure the properties of droplets spectrum by analyzing images captured by high-speed camera. Ultra-bright LED is adopted as
the light source rather than laser, providing the comparable measurement result at an acceptable cost.
