Irrigation remote sensing system

This invention describes a system for monitoring crops by attaching a camera to an agricultural irrigation setup. The camera is designed to move along the length of the irrigation system, which itself can move across a field. This allows the system to gather visual data from various parts of the field as the irrigation system operates.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of cheap, high-resolution cameras and robust wireless data transmission. Modern AI-driven image analysis, nascent in 2006, can now extract sophisticated agricultural insights from the gathered data, making the system far more valuable.
