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.
Claims13
A method of detecting a failure of a device during operation of the device within a field, the method comprising:
- capturing a set of images via a camera of the device, each image describing a field region of the field;
- determining a set of timing delays based on the set of images, each timing delay representing a duration between when a treatment mechanism is actuated and when treatment via the treatment mechanism begins;
- determining a set of correction factors based on the set of images, each correction factor correcting for a distance between a location of treatment as captured in the images and a target treatment location;
- capturing a new image via the camera of the device, the new image capturing a new field region of the field;
- determining a new timing delay and a new correction factor for the new image;
- comparing the new timing delay to the set of timing delays and the new correction factor to the set of correction factors;
- and
- determining whether a failure has occurred at the device based on the comparison.
