The regional Australia Institute (RAI) assessment of CRDC RD&E investment on the socio-economic resilience of rural and regional communities

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This consultancy will give GRDC and CRDC insight into the relationship between providing grain farmers with cutting edge technology, research and tools and their ability to subsequently manage risk and change, lower volatility, and take advantage of market and seasonal opportunities. Importantly the research will link how these changes to...

Predicting the unseen: a new method for accurate yield estimation in viticulture/horticulture

University of Canterbury

"The project aims to revolutionise crop monitoring and yield estimation through the use of multi-camera 3D scanning to solve the significant problem of leaf-occlusion. Utilizing time series scans with modern differentiable rendering methods (Gaussian Splatting based) along with Functional Structural Plant Modelling (FSPM), to enable highly accurate yield prediction and...

Autonomous grape vine pruning

University of Canterbury

"The project aims to be the first practical robotic pruning solution for cane-pruning (and spur pruning), most systems are hobbled by inaccurate scene understanding - if the plant structure is inaccurate or incomplete then attempting to make pruning descisions is almost impossible. Grape vines are complex plants with many overlapping...
