The project aims to develop a drone-mounted smart spraying system with the view to (i) detecting and mapping the weeds using AI powered image processing and (ii) developing an AI controlled targeted weed spraying system using an Internet of Drones (IoD) system. The outcome of the project will be the development of an automated targeted weed spraying system that will be cost effective and minimises adverse environmental impacts. The integration of various activities of the project, viz., drones, image processing, AI, IoT, sensors, fluid power and control technologies is expected to usher in a new era for aviation technology and its application in the agricultural sector.<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p><!--\n<\/div>\n<p>--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed32857 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ed32857\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6452388\" data-id=\"6452388\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d8ba08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2d8ba08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/precisionweedsprayer.cqu.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/EATP-grant.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1535\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/precisionweedsprayer.cqu.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/EATP-grant.jpg 550w, https:\/\/precisionweedsprayer.cqu.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/EATP-grant-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Details Artificial Intelligence driven Internet of Drones for targeted weed spraying Weeds can compete with crops to result in significant losses in crop production.
