Identification of rodents locations in fields for organization of protective measures in agronomy

<ns0:p>One of the main problems of the agricultural sector of Ukraine is the reduction of yields due to the impact of pests, in particular mouse-like rodents. According to experts, in Ukraine, annual crop losses from rodents can be up to 20% depending on the level of the pest population.

The results of the article are the preparation and analysis of data from monitoring the terrain relief to identify mounds created by rodents. Microrelief analysis and construction of its DBSCAN model using synthetic LiDAR data, clustering of anomalous elevations by the method and saving the results for further analysis using the R programming language.</ns0:p>
