Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automating the diagnosis of crop infestations and estimating crop yields. In some embodiments, a field report that includes an image of a crop and a location of a corresponding field is received from a computing device. The image of the crop is processed using computer-vision techniques to identify a pathogen affecting the crop. A biocide to apply to the crop to treat the pathogen is then identified. In some embodiments, the yield of the crop can also be estimated. In such embodiments, a field report that includes images of plants in a field and an identifier of the field is received. A computer-vision technique is applied to each image to determine an individual yield of each plant in an image. An estimate of the yield of the crop is then calculated based on the individual yields of the plants and the size of the field.

Abstract: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for re-identifying an agent located in a materials handling facility based on anterior views of agents. An anterior view of a newly detected agent may be partitioned and color signatures generated for each partition. Likewise, stored anterior views of agents (candidate agents) that may potentially be the newly detected agent are partitioned and color signatures generated for each partition. Based on the color signatures, a similarity between the anterior view of the newly detected agent and the candidate agents is determined. The similarity may be used to either determine that the newly detected agent is one of the candidate agents or reduce the set of candidate agents that are considered during a manual review.

Abstract: Methods for prediction and inhibition of calcium carbonate scale in hydrocarbon wells using machine learning include extracting training data including parameters from aqueous samples. Each aqueous sample is collected from a respective hydrocarbon well. The training data is classified in accordance with hydrocarbon production conditions of each hydrocarbon well. The classified training data is labeled in accordance with whether calcium carbonate scale has formed in each aqueous sample within a particular time period. A feature vector is determined from the labeled training data based on the parameters extracted from each aqueous sample. The feature vector is indicative of whether the respective hydrocarbon well contains calcium carbonate scale. A trained machine learning model is generated, wherein the machine learning model is trained based on the feature vector, to predict a number of the hydrocarbon wells containing calcium carbonate scale within the particular time period.
