This paper presents the development of a low-cost, multi-spectral stereo-imaging system designed for autonomous farming applications. With the growing interest in reducing manual labor in organic farming through technological means, especially in tasks such as weeding and plant health monitoring, there is a significant push towards the development of autonomous robotic systems. These systems often rely on advanced imaging techniques for accurate plant identification, health assessment, and navigation. We propose a novel stereo-camera system combining RGB and near-infrared (NIR) imaging to generate Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images for detailed plant health analysis. The system utilizes off-the-shelf components, including a StereoPi board and RaspberryPi 4 compute module, equipped with two IMX219-160 cameras. By removing the NIR blocking filter from one camera, we achieve a dual RGB and NIR imaging capability, enhancing plant-to-soil contrast and improving the detection sensitivity crucial for automated weeding applications. Our approach includes system calibration, stereo-disparity computation, and NDVI image formation, demonstrating the feasibility of stereo-matching between RGB and NIR images through semi-global matching. Preliminary results indicate that the system is capable of producing NDVI images with reasonable quantitative values, offering insights into plant health that could significantly benefit autonomous farming operations. Improved contrast is observed in the NIR band, promising improved robustness of AI-based plant detection algorithms. Further studies will explore the system's potential in automated plant health and growth assessment, as well as its integration into robotic weeding and harvesting systems.

With the explosive growth of neural network (NN) research and application areas, there is a pressing need to automate the NN model search process in order to attain optimal performance. Nevertheless, existing neural architecture search (NAS) algorithms are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and predominantly tailored for image-related applications. This paper presents the Total Path Count (TPC) score, a straightforward yet highly efficient accuracy predictor solely reliant on the architectural information of a model. The effectiveness of the TPC score is underscored by a robust rank correlation of 0.96 between TPC scores and the accuracies of CIFAR100 architectures. We further introduce TPC-NAS, a zero-shot NAS method that can complete a NAS task in under five CPU minutes without training and inference. TPC-NAS has found wide-ranging applications and it outperforms many other NAS solutions. In image classification, TPC-NAS achieves 78.3% imageNet top-1 accuracy with 399M FLOPs, while in object detection, it improves mAP by at least 2% over other NAS-derived models. Moreover, TPC-NAS successfully discovers a super-resolution architecture with < 300K parameters and achieves 32.09dB PSNR. In NLP, TPC-NAS delivers a model that matches tinyBERT's FLOPs but outperforms it by almost 10% in accuracy. These experiments illustrate TPC-NAS's ability to rapidly generate high-performance CNN/transformer architectures for various applications.

In recent years, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) approaches have outperformed traditional techniques for several computer vision problems. This has been made possible by the increase of computational resources represented by Graphical processing Units (GPU) that allow training using large datasets and the availability of deep learning accelerators for inference. On the other hand, the attitude determination accuracy requirements for spacecraft are increasing. The most accurate attitude determination sensor for spacecraft is the so-called star sensor or star tracker. With the increase in lowcost satellite platforms such as CubeSats, research into the improvement of star sensor accuracy for low-power and low-cost sensor architectures remains a relevant subject. In this context, we examine several methods for noise reduction and star detection for improving centroiding performance. More specifically, an efficient and robust denoising method for star images using an Auto-Encoder (AE) is proposed. This method enhances the image quality for systems sensitive to noise. Furthermore, an accurate and lightweight algorithm based on an existing YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture is proposed to detect the location of stars in the image. In this work, the YOLO bounding boxes are used to describe the space region around the stars. Subsequently, the star centroid within the bounding box is computed using the COG (Center Of Gravity) method. This method removes the need for centroiding algorithms sliding over the entire image area. An extensive comparison of the proposed denoising technique with other traditional filters confirms that the proposed method resists all noise models and reconstructs well the corrupted images. Experiments show that the proposed YOLO-based star detector achieves high accuracy with a lightweight architecture without any extra latency.
