Soon Robo's will decide what humans should eat ... " Just on a lighter note..no offense "
Vooruitgang of achteruitgang??
The idea of a closed loop system for use in agriculture has been around for a good number of years, with the harvester collecting data on yield from each area of a field and the passing that data to the other farm machines to feed more fertiliser or pesticide to specific areas to boost the yield of that area. Drones are often used for spotting issues in crops so they can be addressed. So this technology takes it to the next step to keeping the loop closed during the growing period, if it plots its data and feeds it back to the sprayers!
That is impressive. 🤯
Is it just me or... It is great to count that fast the number of bean plants, but it obviously uses a chopper (or a plane). In a world where we will need to be more aware of fossil fuels consumption, couldn't have we "counted" the plants by walking next to them? How long could it have taken? An hour ? And I assume it is not as if this number was changing often, or plants don't change spots, do they ? Even if some dies, a person walks in the field and count the burnt ones... Isn't that a bit like killing a mosquito with a missile?
You can even more data using a multi/hyper-spectrum imaging and find out if some of the plants might have some disease. On the route to organic farming.
Thanks again Florian Palatini for sharing this YOLOvX post to your network 🚀 Regards, Team WISERLI 🎉
This is amazing! I love it! Is this really YOLO or traditional CV? To me this seems also doable with traditional HSV segmentation + topology ops. Although traditional CV is maybe less robust, it could be run online on a small CPU instead of carrying around a GPU enabled companion computer (assuming inference runs on the drone).
It's amazing what AI can do to help with productivity, wondering what it can add to our field of construction. It's already helping with projects management, maybe in the future it can detect flaws and problems in ongoing work in a construction site. Who knows 🤔?
