US 11,455,794 B2 · System and method for orchard recognition on geographic area

Abstract

A system and a method for recognition of an orchard on a geographic area are provided. The system includes a pre-processing module for deriving a target section of an aerial image containing a parcel of an orchard, an image optimization module for performing customized image processing on the target section of the aerial image, and a recognition module for determining a type and a border of the orchard present on the target section of the aerial image with a deep learning mechanism. Accordingly, farmers and agricultural entities can effectively monitor orchards within different geographic areas so as to yield better fruit production and conduct better fruit quality control and land utilization.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented system for recognizing an orchard on a geographic area, the computer-implemented system having a processor by which programs executed causing the system to perform:

deriving a target section of an aerial image containing a parcel of the orchard and a mask corresponding to a shape of the orchard from the aerial image and a shapefile;
conditioning the target section of the aerial image;
and
determining a type of the orchard within the target section of the aerial image by a deep learning mechanism based on at least one of fruiters growing characteristic and agricultural operation characteristic, and determining a border of the orchard within the target section of the aerial image by the deep learning mechanism based on the mask corresponding to the shape of the orchard and the conditioned target section of the aerial image containing the parcel of the orchard.
