Development of an Automatic harvesting system for green asparagus with stalk detection in Ambient Light (AmLight)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The main problem of harvesting green asparagus is the great need of seasonal workers. Usually between 1.5 and 2.5 workers are needed per ha. The high labour costs and unsatisfying working conditions have created over the last four decades the demand for a partial mechanization of the harvesting process. The increasing labour costs and the lack of in time labour supply have forced the asparagus far ...
