farm-technology
Farm-technology refers to the application of technological innovations and systems in agricultural production to enhance crop yield, efficiency, and sustainability. For plant science research, it is essential because it bridges laboratory discoveries with practical implementation, allowing researchers to validate new cultivation methods, pest management strategies, and plant breeding techniques. This direct connection to farming outcomes makes farm-technology vital for addressing challenges in food security and environmental sustainability.

Researchers developed a computer vision system using stereo cameras to automatically measure farm workers' body dimensions for ergonomic assessment, offering a faster alternative to manual measurements.
System used Intel RealSense D435i stereo camera with OpenCV and MediaPipe to capture measurements from three angles
Tested on 32 participants (16 male, 16 female) with manual anthropometry as reference standard
Measured four key dimensions: stature, vertical reach, trochanteric height, and chest circumference
