- W109761475 abstract "A large sum of money goes into the establishment and upkeep of elite sporting fieldsin Australia. Unfortunately the curators of suburban ovals do not have the luxury ofsuch budgets.This project addresses the need for inexpensive aids to help the curators of these lesselite fields to better utilize the money in their tight budgets. The aids generatedalso have the potential to benefit the more elite fields through better targeting ofmaintenance practices.Through appropriate selection of turf cultivar and surface preparation, a surface thatmaximizes playability, limits injury and wears well can be created. Producing andmaintaining such a uniform surface is difficult due to the variable utilization rates ofdifferent areas. To improve the effectiveness of the maintenance activities requires thefield to be managed in smaller areas often related to quantity of use. Managing at thishigher level requires more time being spent gathering and interpreting data, which isexpensive and requires a higher curator skill level.If the collection and interpretation of data can be mechanized, then the increasedpressure applied to the curators time and skill base can be reduced. At present mostanalytical tools are used in research with few used commercially. This is often dueto being cumbersome and difficult to use, as well as being expensive to acquire. Thedata produced by these instruments is often of no value to the curators as it is uselesswithout a trained professional's interpretation.This project, being of a research, design and construct nature, had to satisfy the following requirements and procedures.The project was required to:1. Identify quantitative measures of turf health and playability2. Design a sensor to measure the most beneficial quantity3. Link quantity to a position4. Create a map of the collected data5. Validate data collected6. Draw conclusions as to the usefulness of the data collectedThe visual analysis of a surface gives coverage and varietal information. Throughreplicating the human recognition processes, areas needing attention can be identified.The path from grass to map contains a sensor (camera) and a processor (laptop) thatconverts the images into meaningful quantities which describe the surface condition.Combining this with a GPS unit allows turf maps to be created (refer figure 1).The use of these maps to identify areas that require rehabilitation can save preciousmoney and allow curators to provide better playing surfaces which make recreationalactivities more enjoyable for all members of the community. -- This abstract is incomplete: see project for complete abstract." @default.
