  • Publication number: 20230360392
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system may determine a first real-world geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The system can receive captured images depicting real-world agricultural objects of a geographic scene. The system can associate captured images with the determined geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The treatment system can identify, from a group of mapped and indexed images, images having a second real-word geo-spatial location that is proximate with the first real-world geo-spatial location. The treatment system can compare at least a portion of the identified images with at least a portion of the captured images. The treatment system can determine a target object and emit a fluid projectile at the target object using a treatment device.

  • Patent number: 11777981
    Abstract: A server system sends, via a linearly ordered communication orbit, to computational machines at a first subset of nodes in a computer network, a set of local environment verification tests and a set of mappings that map results of the local environment verification tests into a set of risk scores. Requests sent by the server system cause the computational machines at the plurality of nodes to: locally evaluate the set of local environment verification tests to produce test results, and locally map the test results using the set of mappings into a set of risk scores. Queries sent by the server cause the computational machines at the plurality of nodes to return to the server system at least a portion of the test results and risk scores. The server, identifies, based on the received test results and risk scores, computational machines and/or control categories having risk scores satisfying predefined criteria.
