Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for detecting objects located in an area of interest. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving, via an interface provided through a general instance on a cloud environment, imaging data comprising raw images collected on the area of interest; upon receiving the images: activating a central processing unit (CPU) focused instance on the cloud environment and processing, via the image, the raw images to generate an image map of the area of interest; and after generating the image map: activating a graphical processing unit (GPU) focused instance on the cloud environment and performing object detection, via the image, on a region within the image map by applying one or more object detection algorithms to the region to identify locations of the objects in the region.

Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, assemblies, and/or the like for providing smart agricultural spraying. Various embodiments of the disclosure involve the use of a LiDAR sensor to collect three-dimensional spatial data, one or more cameras to collect images, and a GPS module to collect position and speed measurements of a sprayer as the sprayer travels through an area of interest such as a tree grove. Accordingly, in particular embodiments, a map of the area of interest that may be acquired through UAV imagery, LiDAR measurements, camera images, GPS location and speed measurements, and Artificial Intelligence are used to control the flow of liquid being applied by the sprayer to objects of interest (e.g., trees) as the sprayer travels through the area of interest (e.g., the tree grove).
