Paperback. Condition: New. This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on machine vision applications in agriculture.The first chapter examines recent advances in machine vision technologies for the measurement of soil texture, structure and topography. The chapter also provides an overview of the basic principles of machine vision technologies, focussing on areas such as 3D surface modelling.The second chapter considers the use of machine learning methods to classify multiple diseases across several different crop types. The chapter also explains how deep learning for image analysis and classification works.The third chapter presents an overview of the use of machine learning for agri-robotics, including the main trends of the last decade. It also discusses the use of machine learning for data analysis and decision-making for perception and navigation.The fourth chapter addresses the prospects of machine vision application in plant factories with artificial lighting. The chapter also summarises recent research utilising this technology, including plant growth monitoring, robot operation assistance and fruit grading.The final chapter reviews advances in computer vision-based technologies for precision livestock farming. The chapter also reviews how automation in image analysis can promote smart management of livestock to improve health and welfare.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition. ix, 247 pages. 8vo. Publisher's maroon cloth. From the library of bibliophile Sydney Ross with his book ticket on the front pastedown. Lightly faded cloth, corners bumped. A sound copy. Cloth. Recounts much of Pickering's work in Chemistry and Physics as well as the effect of external conditions on the growth of fruit trees. "Sydney Ross, leading chemist and bibliophile, was a former Professor of Colloid Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, and founder, and until his death, and president of the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation.From early in life Ross had developed a deep interest in the history of science, a notable publication being Nineteenth-Century Attitudes: Men of Science (Kluwer, 1991). This comprised erudite essays on the word "scientist", Volta potential, electro-magnetic induction, electro-chemistry, and work of Faraday and Herschel. Using their example, also that of Babbage, Davy, Dalton, Darwin, Cavendish, Leslie, Whewell, Maxwell and others, Ross added knowledge and provided a masterly demonstration of the transition to professionalism in science.Another history publication in 2001, one that evoked an inspiring lecture to the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society, was his 590-page annotated Catalogue of the Herschel Library of astronomers William and John Herschel, many of the books which he had bought at auction in 1958.Ross's main interest latterly was in promoting the life and work of James Clerk Maxwell and in 1977 he became founder chairman of the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation which in 1987 acquired and developed Maxwell's birthplace at 14 India Street, Edinburgh, as a mathematical study centre."
