Abstract
A method includes traversing, by the treatment system, along a path in an agricultural environment, receiving, by the treatment system, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects, identifying one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings, determining a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment, selecting a treatment policy to treat the first target object, and activating the treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.
Claims20
A method performed by a treatment system on a moving platform, the treatment system having one or more processors, a storage, and a treatment mechanism, comprising:
- traversing, by the treatment system, along a path in an agricultural environment;
- receiving, by the treatment system, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects;
- identifying one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings;
- determining a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment;
- selecting a treatment policy to treat the first target object;
- and
- activating the treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.
A treatment system on a moving platform, the treatment system comprising:
- one or more processors,
- a storage configured to store data or processor-executable code, and
- a treatment mechanism under control of the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors is configured to:
- receive, by the treatment system operating in an agricultural environment, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects;
- identify one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings;
- determine a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment;
- select a treatment policy to treat the first target object;
- and
- activate the treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable code stored thereupon, the code, upon execution by a processor, causing a treatment system disposed on a moving platform to:
- receive, by the treatment system operating in an agricultural environment, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects;
- identify one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings;
- determine a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment;
- select a treatment policy to treat the first target object;
- and
- activate a treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.
