Integrating spectral and morphological plant features with decision-tree models for early-season cotton biomass and nitrogen status estimation from multi-year UAV data

arXiv:2608. 07801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Precision nitrogen (N) management (PNM) for cotton requires in-season monitoring of crop growth parameters and N status indicators to decide fertilizer timing, placement, and application rates for optimal canopy development and yield.

UAV Thermal Imagery for Inert Ordnance Screening: Multi Campaign Dataset Development,Object Detection, and Practical Recommendations

The paper presents a multi‑campaign UAV thermal image dataset for inert ordnance screening, comprising 5,855 labeled image pairs collected in Tennessee across diverse terrains and seasons. The authors trained YOLOV11l and RT‑DETR‑R50 models on 33 m and 15 m altitude data, achieving automated candidate detection, and provided practical guidelines for future humanitarian mine action surveys. The dataset and models aim to aid screening and prioritization for follow‑up technical surveys or EOD assessment, not to replace clearance operations.

Combining Object Detection with Geometry-Aware Clustering to Distinguish Overlapping Plants in UAV Imagery

The paper introduces a geometry‑aware post‑detection framework that resolves overlapping plant instances in RGB UAV imagery by combining object detection with geometric clustering of plant components. It uses component centroids and radial intersection points (RIPs) to determine whether a detected region contains one or two plants, applying K‑means or Gaussian mixture models and density filtering to improve clustering accuracy. Evaluated on eggplant and tomato crops, the method achieved high F1‑scores (0.89 for eggplant, 0.75 for tomato) and demonstrated that geometric reasoning can enhance plant‑level interpretation without requiring additional sensors or retraining.
