Abstract:
Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include identifying an emitter of an agricultural projectile delivery system to calibrate a trajectory of an agricultural projectile to intercept a target, predicting a projectile impact site relative to the reference of alignment, determining a calibration parameter to align the projectile impact site and the target, and adjusting the trajectory based on the one or more calibration parameters.
