Cover Story: Olive trees often suffer from various diseases which are predictable and curable if they are caught in early stages, making early identification of infestation very crucial. This identification is usually done through manual labor, a task which is impractical and difficult, as early stages cannot be easily perceived with the naked eye. In the MyOlivGroveCoach project, we sought to build a system which uses multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle imagery to help to monitor olive groves through the autonomous and automatic processing of the multispectral images using both computer vision and machine learning techniques. The goal of the system is to monitor and assess the health of olive groves, to facilitate the prediction of Verticillium wilt spread, and to implement a decision support system that guides the farmer/agronomist in a timely manner.
