A device for reducing ground mole tunneling.

A method (100) for recognizing weed in a natural environment may be provided. A digital image of weed in an early development stage is captured (102) among cultivated crop. Areas with a predefined color and texture specification are contoured (104) defining a boundary contour. The weed is displayed (106) together with a frame and a quality indicator. Moreover, the digital image is stored (110) only if a predefined quality criterion is met. Then, unnecessary color information may be reset (112), the digital image is sent (116) for a further examination, and a weed name of the weed of the captured image and a related probability value indicative of a probability of a match between the weed name and the weed of the captured digital image together image is received (118).

Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include receiving data representing actions to be performed relative to a subset of agricultural objects, positioning an emitter of an agricultural projectile delivery system adjacent to an agricultural object, identifying a corresponding action to be performed in association with the agricultural object, selecting an emitter to perform the action, and causing the emitter to emit an agricultural projectile to intercept the agricultural object.

An optical fiber distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) system for detecting a red palm weevil and/or its larvae inside a tree. The system includes an optical fiber that is configured to be placed next to a tree; and a DAS box optically connected to the optical fiber and configured to receive a reflected light from the optical fiber. The DAS box includes electronics that extracts from the reflected light a frequency in a range of [400 Hz, 4 kHz], and sends a message indicating a presence of the red palm weevil and/or its larvae inside the tree.
