Abstract
A system for autonomous crop monitoring, the system comprising a mobile platform having one or a plurality of imaging devices configured to autonomously travel a path to scan a plurality of inspection regions in a field of crop and obtain images of the inspection regions; and a processor configured to analyze the acquired images to detect an agricultural condition that requires attention (ACRA) and determine the location of that ACRA.
Claims28
A system for autonomous crop monitoring, the system comprising:
- a mobile platform having one or a plurality of imaging devices configured to autonomously travel a path to scan a plurality of inspection regions in a field of crop and obtain images of the inspection regions;
- and
- a processor configured to analyze the acquired images to detect an agricultural condition that requires attention (ACRA) and determine the location of that ACRA.
A method for autonomous crop monitoring, the method comprising,
- providing a crop monitoring system comprising a mobile platform having one or a plurality of imaging devices configured to autonomously travel a path to scan a plurality of inspection regions in a field of the crop and obtain images of the inspection regions and a processor configured to analyze the acquired images to detect an agricultural condition that requires attention (ACRA) and determine the location of that AC;
- planning a path across a field of crop plants on the basis of a calculation of a likelihood of detection of agricultural condition requiring attention (ACRA) in one or more regions of the field;
- causing the mobile platform to travel along the planned path;
- operating said one or a plurality of imaging devices of the system to acquire images of the crop plants as the mobile platform travels along the planned path;
- and
- using a processor, analyzing the acquired images to detect ACRA and determine the location of that ACRA.
