It is important to continuously monitor the long-term impact of viticultural management
practices and assess opportunities for improving the environmental footprint of vineyard …

During the last decades, researchers have developed novel computing methods to help
viticulturists solve their problems, primarily those linked to yield estimation of their crops …

Water is now considered the most important but vulnerable resource in the Mediterranean
region. Nevertheless, irrigation expanded fast in the region (eg South Portugal and Spain) to …

Yield prediction is a key factor to optimize vineyard management and achieve the desired
grape quality. Classical yield estimation methods, which consist of manual sampling within …

Counting grape berries and measuring their size can provide accurate data for robot picking
behavior decision-making, yield estimation, and quality evaluation. When grapes are picked …

Counting the number of berries per bunch is a key component of many yield estimation
processes but is exceptionally tedious for farmers to complete. Recent work into image …

Atmospheric CO 2 levels and global temperatures are expected to rise in the next decades,
and viticulture must face these changes. Within this context, exploiting the intra-varietal …

Wine growers prefer cultivars with looser bunch architecture because of the decreased risk
for bunch rot. As a consequence, grapevine breeders have to select seedlings and new …

Table grapes are one of the most productive and economically relevant fruit crops
worldwide. Table grape production characterizes by high water productivity but also by an …

Abstract Background and Aims Bunch compactness is a key feature determining grape and
