Abstract:
A computer system obtains, using a camera, a first plurality of images of a canopy an agricultural plot. For each respective fruit of a plurality of fruit growing in the agricultural plot, the computer system identifies a first respective image in the first plurality of images that comprises the respective fruit. The first respective image has a corresponding first camera location. The computer system also identifies a second respective image in the first plurality of images that comprises the respective fruit. The second respective image has a corresponding second camera location. The computer system uses at least i) the first and second respective images and ii) a distance between the first and second camera locations to determine a corresponding size of the respective fruit.
