Abstract
A method including: recording a first image of a first field region; automatically treating a plant within the first region in-situ based on the first image; automatically verifying the plant treatment with a second image of the first region; and automatically treating a second region concurrently with treatment verification.
Claims20
A method for identifying a failure of a treatment mechanism of a plurality of treatment mechanisms of a farming machine:
- capturing, using a monitoring sensor of the farming machine, an image of the plurality of treatment mechanisms of the farming machine while the farming machine is traversing a field performing plant treatments for plants in the field;
- detecting, based on the image, the failure of the treatment mechanism of the farming machine;
- and
- in response to detecting the failure, automatically performing, using the farming machine, a treatment mechanism remediation action based on the detected failure of the treatment mechanism.
A farming machine comprising:
- a plurality of treatment mechanisms configured to treat plants in a field as the farming machine traverses through the field;
- a monitoring sensor configured to capture images of the plurality of treatment mechanisms as the farming machine traverses through the field and performs plant treatments for plants in the field;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions for identifying a failure of a treatment mechanism of the plurality of treatment mechanisms of the farming machine, the computer program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to:
- capture, using the monitoring sensor, an image of the plurality of treatment mechanisms of the farming machine while the farming machine is traversing the field performing plant treatments for plants in the field;
- detect, based on the image, the failure of the treatment mechanism of the farming machine;
- and
- in response to detecting the failure, automatically perform, using the farming machine, a treatment mechanism remediation action based on the detected failure of the treatment mechanism.
