ProxiCrop
Continuous assessment of plant water status with a static thermal imaging sensor.
Optimising irrigation application maximises the value of a crop, minimises input costs and potentially provides resilience to reduced water allocations.
With the support of Wine Australia, we developed Proxicrop, a low-cost thermography-based sensor that uses image segmentation to reliably measure a large area of canopy throughout the season, removing the limitations of current point-based thermal sensors.
