  • <div>This research presents the development of a drone equipped with pruning tools and</div> <div>a stereo vision camera, designed to accurately detect the spatial position of tree</div> <div>branches. By utilizing stereo vision technology, the drone precisely identifies branch</div> <div>locations and executes targeted pruning operations. In response to the growing de</div> <div>mand for automation and increased efficiency in agriculture and forestry, this study</div> <div>tackles the challenge of accurately detecting and measuring the distance between the</div> <div>camera and tree branches, which is essential for precise pruning. The primary aim</div> <div>is to establish a robust methodology that enables drones to reliably identify branch</div> <div>positions and compute their spatial distances. This is accomplished through the in</div> <div>tegration of advanced computer vision techniques and machine learning algorithms.</div> <div>The research outcomes demonstrate significant improvements in the accuracy and ef</div> <div>ficiency of the drone’s camera in precisely detecting the spatial position of branches,</div> <div>underscoring the transformative potential of deep learning technologies in advancing</div> <div>automation within the agriculture and forestry sectors.</div>
