报告简介：The talk aims to discuss a cognitive system with a decisive deep learning (DL) architecture to investigate the use of vision-guided UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for precision agriculture. The main goals are to realize the automatic sky farming by UAVs, which means that the UAVs will do all the agronomy tasks automatically. The major points to be covered in the keynote are:

1) Need of a vision-guided localization and vision navigation approach which uses camera and other sensors on board and on field to realize the UAVs‘ controlling and Navigation method that doesn´t rely on the GPS (Global Positioning System) signal.

2) Significance of a deep learning algorithm for crop disease detection. The main intention is to use DL/machine learning techniques to create a mapping between places obtained using cameras and actual on-field locations obtained via field sensors to increase the accuracy of recognized locations.
