The project is divided into three stages. In the first stage, a prototype research system for recording field data - pests and bees - will be built. This system will be suspended from the front linkage of an agricultural tractor and its main components will be an adjustable boom carrier, cameras and recording systems with a user interface. In this stage, objects such as strawberries, pimples and bees will be recorded. In the second stage of the operation, a prototype of a selective pest control system will be built with implemented algorithms for their recognition. At the same time, starting from rapeseed emergence (September 2023), work will continue with the use of the prototype research system to record the remaining field data - images of e.g. the rapeseed flea beetle and the weevil. In the third stage of the operation, the built prototype of the selective pest control and bee protection system will be verified - the experiments will take place during the period of the strawberry flea beetle and the pimple beetle raid. At the same time, the prototype will be supplemented with algorithms for the recognition of other pests (flea beetle, weevil). In this phase, an artificial plantation will also be prepared with imitation pests and bees, in particular the rapeseed flea beetle and the weevil. Experiments will be carried out to verify the correct functioning of the prototype system for all objects (pests, bees).
