  • Publication number: 20220254155
    Abstract: Method for plantation treatment of a plantation field, the method comprising taking an image of a plantation of a plantation field; recognizing items on the taken image by running a first image recognition analysis of a first complexity on the taken image based on a stored parametrization of a machine learning algorithm; identifying an unsatisfying image analysis result; determining ambient data corresponding to the taken image; recognizing items on the taken image by miming a second image recognition analysis of a second complexity on the image based on the ambient data on an external device, wherein the second complexity is higher than the first complexity; determining an improved parametrization based on the second image recognition analysis for the machine learning algorithm for improving the first image recognition analysis; and controlling a treatment arrangement of a treatment device based on the first image recognition analysis.

  • Publication number: 20220167606
    Abstract: A method for plantation treatment of a plantation field, the method, comprising: receiving (S10) a parametrization (10) for controlling a treatment device (200) by the treatment device (200) from a field manager system (100), wherein the parametrization (10) is dependent on offline field data (Doff) relating to expected conditions on the plantation field (300); taking (S20) an image (20) of a plantation of a plantation field (300); recognizing (S30) objects (30) on the taken image (20); determining (S40) at least one treatment product composition (40) optionally dependent or based on the determined parametrization (10), online field data and/or the recognized objects (30); determining (S50) a control signal (S) for controlling a treatment arrangement (270) of the treatment device (200) based on the determined parametrization (10), the recognized objects (30) and the chosen treatment product composition (40).

  • Publication number: 20220172306
    Abstract: In order to provide a more effective field scouting management, a method is provided for field scouting management. The method comprises planning, using a mobile scouting management device with a display, a scouting trip in a plantation field, collecting scouting data along the planed scouting trip, providing the collected scouting data to a mobile decision-support device adapted for being carried into the plantation field, analyzing, using the mobile decision-support device, the scouting data to provide a scouting report comprising a field performance map, a weed map, a list of all identified species, and/S20 or a recommendation to re-scout, connecting the mobile decision-support device to the mobile scouting management device, and displaying the scouting report of the scouting trip on the display of the mobile scouting management device.

  • Publication number: 20220167546
    Abstract: A method for plantation treatment of a plantation field, the method comprising: determining (S10) an application rate decision logic (10) based on offline field data (Doff) relating to expected conditions on the plantation field (300); taking (S20) an image (20) of a plantation of a plantation field (300); recognizing (S30) objects (30) on the taken image (20); determining (S40) an application rate based on the determined application rate decision logic (10) and the recognized objects (30); and determining (S50) a control signal (S) for controlling a treatment arrangement (50) of a treatment device (200) based on the determined application rate.

  • Publication number: 20210084885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for spray management. It is described to provide (210) a processing unit with at least one image of a field and provide (220) the processing unit with historical details relating to spray application of a weed control liquid and/or a pest control liquid to the field. The processing unit analyses (230) the at least one image to determine at least one location within the field for activation of at least one weed control spray gun and/or activation of at least one pest control spray gun. The processing unit determines (240) a configuration of the at least one weed control spray gun for application at the at least one location and/or a configuration of the at least one pest control spray gun for application at the at least one location. The determination comprises utilization of the historical details.
