                            Agroecosystems Management Research** Project Number: 5030-13000-012-016-N
                        
                        Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement Start Date: Dec 18, 2023
                        
                        End Date: Dec 17, 2026 **Objective:**
                        
                        Employ UAV surveys and image analysis techniques to identify tile drainage pipes in the cooperator's ACRES facility. **Approach:**
                        
                        1) Perform several flights with UAV to identify optimal weather conditions and timing for detection of tile drainage pipes.  
2) Use image analysis software to map the network of tile drainage pipes (number of pipes and network architecture).  
3) Compare the network of tile drainage pipes detected via the image analysis software against the historic tile network maps in the ACRES facility and perform an error analysis.
