Industrial innovation in Britain, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, stimulated the introduction of the factory system and the migration of people from rural agricultural communities to urban industrial societies. The factory system brought elevated levels of economic growth to the purveyors of capitalism, but forced people to migrate into cities where working conditions in factories were, in general, harsh and brutal, and living conditions were cramped, overcrowded and unsanitary. Industrial developments, known collectively as the 'Industrial Revolution', were driven initially by the harnessing of water and steam power, and the widespread construction of rail, shipping and road networks. Parallel with these changes, came the development of purchasing 'middle class', consumers. Various technological ripples (or waves of innovative activity) continued (worldwide) up to the early-twenty-first century. Of recent note are innovations in digital technology, with associated developments, for example, in artificial intelligence, robotics, 3-D printing, materials technology, computing, energy storage, nano-technology, data storage, biotechnology, 'smart textiles' and the introduction of what has become known as 'e-commerce'. This paper identifies the more important early technological innovations, their influence on textile manufacture, distribution and consumption, and the changed role of the designer and craftsperson over the course of these technological ripples. The implications of non-ethical production, globalisation and so-called 'fast fashion' and non-sustainability of manufacture are examined, and the potential benefits and opportunities offered by new and developing forms of social media are considered. The message is that hand-crafted products are ethical, sustainable and durable.

Purpose: A robust, efficient auto-grading computer vision system for meat carcasses is in high demand by researchers all over the world. In this paper, we discuss our study, in which we developed a system to speed up line processing and provide reliable results for pork grading, comparing the results of our algorithms with visual human subjectivity measurements. Methods: We differentiated fat and lean using an entropic correlation algorithm. We also developed a self-designed robust segmentation algorithm that successfully segmented several porkcut samples; this algorithm can help to eliminate the current issues associated with autothresholding. Results: In this study, we carefully considered the key step of autoextracting lean tissue. We introduced a self-proposed scheme and implemented it in over 200 pork-cut samples. The accuracy and computation time were acceptable, showing excellent potential for use in online commercial systems. Conclusions: This paper summarizes the main results reported in recent application studies, which include modifying and smoothing the lean area of pork-cut sections of commercial fresh pork by human experts for an auto-grading process. The developed algorithms were implemented in a prototype mobile processing unit, which can be implemented at the pork processing site.

Due to digitization, data has become a tsunami in almost every data-driven business sector. The information wave has been greatly boosted by man-to-machine (M2M) digital data management. An explosion in the use of ICT for farm management has pushed technical solutions into rural areas and benefited farmers and customers alike. This study discusses the benefits and possible pitfalls of using information and communication technology (ICT) in conventional farming. Information technology (IT), the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics are discussed, along with the roles of Machine learning (ML), Artificial intelligence (AI), and sensors in farming. Drones are also being studied for crop surveillance and yield optimization management. Global and state-of-the-art Internet of Things (IoT) agricultural platforms are emphasized when relevant. This article analyse the most current publications pertaining to precision agriculture using ML and AI techniques. This study further details about current and future developments in AI and identify existing and prospective research concerns in AI for agriculture based on this thorough extensive literature evaluation.

농업 관련 방송 콘텐츠에서 과일에 대한 자동적인 정보 제공을 위해서 대상 과일의 인스턴스 영상 분할이 요구된다. 또한, 해당 과일에 대한 3차원 자세에 대한 정보 제공도 의미있게 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상 콘텐츠에서 토마토에 대한 정보를 제공하는 연구를 다룬다. 인스턴스 영상 분할 기법을 학습하기 위해서는 다량의 데이터가 필요하지만 충분한 토마토 학습데이터를 얻기는 힘들다. 따라서 적은 양의 실사 영상을 바탕으로 데이터 증대기법을 통해 학습 데이터를 생성하였다. 실사 영상만을 통한 학습 결과 정확도에 비해서, 전경과 배경을 분리해서 만들어진 합성 영상을 통해 학습한 결과, 기존 대비 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 영상 전처리 기법들을 활용해서 만들어진 영상을 사용한 데이터 증대 영상의 학습 결과, 전경과 배경을 분리한 합성 영상보다 높은 성능을 얻는 것을 확인하였다. 객체 검출 후 자세 추정을 하기 위해 RGB-D 카메라를 이용하여 포인트 클라우드를 획득하였고 최소제곱법을 이용한 실린더 피팅을 진행하였고, 실린더의 축 방향을 통해 토마토 자세를 추정하였다. 우리는 다양한 실험을 통해서 대상 객체에 대한 검출, 인스턴스 영상 분할, 실린더 피팅의 결과가 의미있게 나타난다는 것을 보였다.
