Abstract: A mobile platform includes at least one first sensor mounted at a first position on the mobile platform and at least one second sensor mounted at a second position on the mobile platform, where the first position is offset from the second position. The at least one first sensor is configured to capture first data measurements of plants in the growing area. The at least one second sensor is configured to capture second data measurements of the plants in the growing area. Each of the first and second data measurements is associated with a three-dimensional position within the growing area and a time. The first and second sensors are configured to generate at least one common type of data measurement such that at least some of the first and second data measurements represent stereo-spatio-temporal data measurements of the plants in the growing area.

Abstract: A method includes receiving manual input from a human operator, where the manual input includes human observation data measurements associated with plants in a growing area. The method also includes, for each human observation data measurement, identifying a height of a movable portion of a mobile platform on which the human operator rides, identifying a location of the mobile platform in the growing area, identifying a time at which the human observation data measurement is received, and associating the human observation data measurement with a three-dimensional position within the growing area and the time in order to generate a spatio-temporal data measurement. The three-dimensional position includes the height and the location. The method further includes storing, processing, or transmitting at least some of the spatio-temporal data measurements or one or more results based on at least some of the spatio-temporal data measurements.

Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processor configured to obtain stereo-spatio-temporal data measurements of plants in a growing area. The stereo-spatio-temporal data measurements include (i) first spatio-temporal data measurements of the plants in the growing area and (ii) second spatio-temporal data measurements of the plants in the growing area. The at least one processor is also configured to analyze the stereo-spatio-temporal data measurements to identify one or more actual or potential problems associated with one or more of the plants. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a graphical user interface identifying at least one of the one or more actual or potential problems with the one or more plants. The first and second spatio-temporal data measurements of each stereo-spatio-temporal data measurement are associated with at least one common plant characteristic and different three-dimensional positions within the growing area taken at one or more known times.
