Researcher and automation Engineer. I participated in the OMICAS research ecosystem for four years, developing research skills and expertise in artificial intelligence and image processing with innovative technologies in smart agriculture. I contributed to the production of new knowledge reported in open-access scientific papers.At ÓMICAS, I develop algorithms based on artificial intelligence techniques to analyze multispectral and thermal images. This involves estimating crop variables such as biomass, chlorophyll, nitrogen, and water stress. Additionally, I work on algorithms for reconstructing plant architecture by fusing laser and plenoptic camera data, resulting in 3D mapping of plants. This enables the generation of 3D/4D morphological models of plant architecture for rice crops using multispectral (VIS/NIR) information. I also support experimental field tests for crop data collection.
