  • Publication number: 20240060883
    Abstract: Systems and methods for hyperspectral imaging of plants are provided. Multispectral images of plants are transformed, e.g. by interpolation along a spectral axis, to generate hyperspectral images of plants. The transformation can be based on spectral bases formed from hyperspectral sample images including images of plant matter. Plant characteristics, such as plant health, may be predicted based on the hyperspectral image. Plant health may be predicted by comparing derivatives of reflectance values with respect to wavelength for a plant of a given image relative to a reference derivative based on a reference hyperspectral image. The derivatives may be compared by determining a regression loss.

  • Patent number: 11620782
    Abstract: A method that simulates a response of a target person to one or more simulation inputs comprises: contacting a body of a first test subject with a force-sensing probe; measuring a first force applied by the probe to the body of the first test subject; obtaining a first relative movement comprising a first movement of the probe relative to the body of the first test subject; determining one or more model parameters associated with the body of the first test subject based on the measured first force and the first relative movement; incorporating the one or more model parameters into a target model of at least a portion of a body of a target person; obtaining a simulation input for application to the target model; and simulating a response of the target person in response to the simulation input using the target model.
