Opening Date: 24th January 2022
Closing Date: 7th February 2022
Applications are invited for the posts of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in a research project entitled “Advanced Aerial Mapping (AAM) Rider: Yield Detection System for Mango Farms using UAVs”
Project Summary:
To develop the solutions for the yield detection in mango farms by capturing the 360 degree images using the cutting edge technological advancements such as Drones, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoTs), Computer Vision (CV), etc. The idea is to have the Drone rider who can collect the data from the mango farms. The collected data will be processed with the help of object detection techniques for the mango fruit detection which is required to measure the yield in mango farms.
