Video: Digitalizing Vineyards — The Role of Computer Vision and Deep Learning in Yield Management
Ben Utter, Business Development Director at Bloomfield Robotics, discusses its company's custom tereo camera technology, designed as an innovative way for growers to collect and measure key plant attributes for high-throughput phenotyping.
It is a combination of ground-based image capturing, deep learning-based processing, and computer vision artificial intelligence.
Unlike fixed cameras, Bloomfield’s camera features active lighting and stereo lenses. “The active lighting allows you to collect data at any time of the day or night, while the stereo lens’ provides depth perception in particular,” explains Utter.
The camera can be attached to any vehicle moving through a farm and collects images at human scale to extract measurements such as yield, maturity, or disease incidence.
