AUTONOMOUS CROP MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345053 titled 'AUTONOMOUS CROP MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that autonomously monitors crops by using a mobile platform to move around a field and an imaging device to capture images of crop plants. Additionally, the system includes a mechanism to bend leaves of the crop plants during image acquisition.

  • The system includes a mobile platform that can move independently within a crop field.
  • An imaging device is used to capture images of crop plants.
  • A leaf bending mechanism is integrated into the system to bend leaves of crop plants during image acquisition.
  • The system is designed for autonomous crop monitoring and data collection.

Potential Applications: - Precision agriculture - Crop monitoring and management - Yield optimization

Problems Solved: - Efficient crop monitoring in large fields - Automated data collection for crop analysis - Improved crop health assessment

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in crop monitoring - Enhanced data collection for better decision-making - Potential for increased crop yields

Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Crop Monitoring System for Precision Agriculture This technology can be used in precision agriculture to optimize crop management practices, leading to increased yields and reduced resource wastage. The market implications include improved sustainability and profitability for farmers.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the leaf bending mechanism improve the quality of crop images? 2. What are the potential cost savings for farmers using this autonomous crop monitoring system?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in autonomous crop monitoring technology and its impact on precision agriculture practices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for autonomous crop monitoring includes a mobile platform configured to autonomously propel the system to a plurality of locations in a field of the crop and an imaging device. a leaf bending mechanism is configured to bend leaves of a crop plant in the field when an image of the crop plant is being acquired by the imaging device.
