Irrigation management via intelligent image analysis

This invention describes a system that uses video cameras to watch a lawn. The camera footage is sent to a central computer system in the cloud, which analyzes the video over time to spot visual changes in the lawn, like how much sun it's getting or if its appearance changes. Based on these visual cues, the system automatically adjusts the watering schedule for that lawn.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread, accessible AI models could easily analyze video streams for subtle environmental changes. Modern computer vision tools can now more accurately and efficiently detect lawn health, sunlight patterns, and other visual cues needed for intelligent irrigation adjustments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCloud software, image analysis, camera integration
