Sensor-based Precision Herbicide Application System

The smart sprayer, a local-vision-sensor-based precision chemical application system, was developed and tested. The long-term objectives of this project were to develop new technologies to estimate weed density and size in real-time, realize site-specific weed control, and effectively reduce the amount of herbicide applied to major crop fields. This research integrated a real-time machine visio...

Sequential Designs with Application in Software Engineering

Presented here is a Bayesian approach to test case allocation in the software reliability estimation. Bayesian analysis allows us to update our beliefs about the reliability of a particular partition as we test, and thus, dynamically refine our allocation of test cases during the reliability testing process. We started with a fully sequential sampling scheme to estimate the reliability of a sof...

Blackland Tallgrass Prairie Vegetation Dynamics Following Cessation of Herbicide Application

We studied short-term (1–3 years) responses of plant species and functional group abundances, richness, evenness, diversity, and similarity following cessation of 25 years (1972–1997) of herbicide application in a remnant of Blackland Tallgrass Prairie in central Texas. Substantial increases in plant cover from 1998 to 2000 were observed for annual forbs (359%–900%), primarily attributable to f...
