  • Publication number: 20190143356
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fertilizer allocation system and fertilizer allocation method. The fertilizer allocation system includes a sprayer, a plurality of solution tanks, a camera, a processor, data storage unit and a controller. The sprayer connects to solution tanks by a flow switch and spray fertilizer, which in solution tanks to crop. The camera takes a picture of a crop and the processor compared the picture with a plurality of identification data stored on the data storage unit, then judges a growing situation of crop and generates an allocation information. The controller receives the allocation information and adjust the flow switch to change the flow of fertilizer so that crop get desired element.

  • Patent number: 9330460
    Abstract: A treatment recommending system of plant symptom includes an operation interface, an image capture unit, a processing unit and a storage unit for storing plant symptom data and diagnostic data. The processing unit may find target contour data presenting a plant part according to symptom description and symptom characteristic data. The image capture unit obtains plant image data corresponding to the target contour data. The processing unit analyzes the plant image data, and coordinates with the symptom characteristic data to determine corresponding treatment recommendation data.

  • Publication number: 20150134395
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a planning system for crop production, a planning method for crop production, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium. The system comprises an analyzing module, a grouping module, and a scheduling module. The analyzing module analyzes historical prices of each crop, and produces price feature information of each crop. The grouping module groups the plurality of crops by similar price feature information according to the price feature information of each crop into a plurality of crop groups. Then at least two crop groups are selected from the plurality of crop groups as a planning group. The price feature information for the plurality of crops in the planning group have a complementary relationship. The scheduling module selects at least a crop from the plurality of crops in each crop group of the planning group according to planting information of each crop and produces a plan.

  • Patent number: 8659595
    Abstract: A method and system for combining a 2D image and a 3D model and a storage medium thereof are provided. A corresponding relation between a general model and a 2D image is established. A system provides an operation interface. Next, functions provided by the operation interface include designating a feature point on the 2D image and specifying a confirmation point corresponding to the feature point on the general model. Finally, according to a viewpoint space vector of the general model, a display space vector of the 2D image is decided. Furthermore, when the operation interface displays the general model according to a specific viewpoint space vector, the 2D image having the corresponding display space vector is selected for display.
