A computer system uses cameras to monitor plants, taking pictures that are sent to a central server. This server analyzes the images to identify plants and spot any problems, then suggests a solution. The claims specifically cover the computing device and its software for receiving and preprocessing images to detect these plant anomalies.
Why it matters: Filed before modern deep learning models for computer vision were widely accessible. The software components for image analysis and classification are now significantly easier to implement and more powerful.
