This invention describes a sensor pole designed for agricultural fields. It features two arms extending from its top and bottom, each equipped with a camera or infrared imager. These imagers point inwards to capture images of crop canopies between the arms, and the pole's height can be adjusted by stacking modular sections.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread AI for image analysis. Machine learning can now interpret canopy images for precision agriculture, making the data more actionable.
