Abstract
A method for plant treatment, including: receiving a first measurement for a plant from a sensor as the sensor moves within a geographic area comprising a plurality of plants; in response to receipt of the first measurement and prior to receipt of a second measurement for a second plant of the plurality, determining a set of treatment mechanism operation parameters for the plant to optimize a geographic area output parameter based on the first measurement and historical measurements for the geographic area; determining an initial treatment parameter for the plant; and operating a treatment mechanism in a treatment mode based on the set of operating parameters in response to satisfaction of the initial treatment parameter.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first measurement for a geographic area from a sensor as the sensor moves within the geographic area, the geographic area comprising a plurality of plants;
- identifying a first plant based on the first measurement;
- determining a target output parameter for the first plant by optimizing a geographic area output parameter for the geographic area based on the first measurement and historical measurements for the plurality of plants;
- selecting a regulation action for the first plant based on the target output parameter;
- in response to selection of the regulation action for the first plant, determining a set of operation parameters for operation of a treatment mechanism based on a parameter of an ambient environment feature and target output parameters for secondary plants of the plurality of plants, the secondary plants associated with the first plant by the ambient environment feature;
- selecting an initial treatment parameter for the first plant based on the selected action;
- and
- operating the treatment mechanism in a treatment mode based on the set of operating parameters in response to satisfaction of the initial treatment parameter.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first measurement for a plant from a sensor as the sensor moves within a geographic area comprising a plurality of plants;
- in response to receipt of the first measurement and prior to processing of a second measurement for a second plant of the plurality, determining a set of treatment mechanism operation parameters for the plant based on a target geographic area output parameter, the first measurement, and historical measurements for the geographic area;
- determining an initial treatment parameter for the plant;
- and
- operating a treatment mechanism in a treatment mode based on the set of operating parameters in response to satisfaction of a treatment initiation event.
