The software sub-team is currently in the process of researching image analysis techniques and computer programs that can help us achieve the goal of de-skewing and stitching together multiple images to create a large photographic map of orchard canopies or crop fields. This map will then be analysed to find overall crop coverage and give a yield estimate for the farmer to gauge his yearly output. We are interested in programs that meet the folowing critera:
- Open source
- Automatable (using scrips/console input)
- Easy to use
- Includes deskewing algorithms
- Ability to stitch images together
- Accept multiple types of images (including RGB and near-infared)
