Camera apparatus and method of enhanced foliage detection

This invention describes a camera system designed to identify foliage in agricultural fields. It takes a color picture, smooths it, and then analyzes it through several different digital color interpretations. By performing specific calculations on these color channels, the system generates a clear map highlighting only the plants, specifically for a view of 1.75 to 2.25 meters.

Why it matters: The cost and power efficiency of embedded processors capable of real-time image processing have continued to improve since 2023, making on-device execution of this complex pipeline more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, custom electronics, image sensor
