This invention describes a system that uses images from cameras to monitor plants in different areas, measuring characteristics like growth. If it detects significant differences between plant sets, it can request more images to identify potential diseases and even suggest actions to address them. The claims specifically narrow the measurement to growth-based metrics and the generation of growth curves.
Why it matters: Filed before advanced deep learning models for image analysis became widely accessible. The claims cover detecting differences and recommending actions, which modern AI can now perform with greater accuracy and less specialized programming.
