METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLASSIFYING PLANTS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18247206 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CLASSIFYING PLANTS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a method for classifying plants based on their characteristics. - The method involves using an optical and/or infrared detection unit to detect plants or their components, such as leaves, in a specific area. - The detected image data from the detection unit are then analyzed using an algorithm to distinguish between two different types of plants. - The second type of plant, which is identified through the evaluation, is treated with a medium, preferably a liquid spray. - The first type of plant, on the other hand, is planted in a tubular cultivation row tube as a plant row. - The innovation lies in the use of optical and/or infrared detection technology combined with an algorithm to accurately classify plants and differentiate between different types. - This method can be useful in various agricultural applications, such as optimizing plant treatment and cultivation processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for classifying plants. In the method, the plants or their plant components, in particular plant leaves, are detected in an evaluation region with the aid of an optical and/or infrared detection unit, and the detected image data of the detection unit are evaluated with the aid of an algorithm, via the evaluation a first plant type being distinguished from a second plant type, the second plant type being treated in particular with a medium, preferably a liquid spray, and the first plant type being planted in the form of a plant row in a tubular cultivation row tube.
