Northwest Nazarene University, which is located in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, is developing a crop monitoring platform (CMP). The CMP, which uses a machine vision system, estimates fruit tree parameters such as tree canopy volume and canopy reflectance characteristics. This research project, conducted by undergraduate engineering students, is integrated with the teaching of machine vision in a Control Systems course. This paper presents a case for teaching machine vision through undergraduate research.
