Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system determines a vehicle pose of a vehicle as the vehicle moves along a path. The system identifies a first target agricultural object for treatment. Based on the determined vehicle pose, the system positions a treatment head of a first treatment unit such that a first projectile fluid may be emitted by the first treatment unit at the identified first target agricultural object. The system then causes an emitter to emit a fluid from the treatment head at the first target agricultural object.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system may determine a first real-world geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The system can receive captured images depicting real-world agricultural objects of a geographic scene. The system can associate captured images with the determined geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The treatment system can identify, from a group of mapped and indexed images, images having a second real-word geo-spatial location that is proximate with the first real-world geo-spatial location. The treatment system can compare at least a portion of the identified images with at least a portion of the captured images. The treatment system can determine a target object and emit a fluid projectile at the target object using a treatment device.

Abstract: A method includes traversing, by the treatment system, along a path in an agricultural environment, receiving, by the treatment system, one or more sensor readings comprising one or more agricultural objects, identifying one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more sensor readings, determining a first target object of the one or more objects of interest for treatment, selecting a treatment policy to treat the first target object, and activating the treatment mechanism to treat the first target object with the treatment policy.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by the treatment system, during operation in an agricultural environment, one or more images comprising one or more agricultural objects in the agricultural environment, identifying, in real-time, one or more objects of interest from the one or more agricultural objects by analyzing the one or more images, wherein the analyzing results in a first object being identified as belonging to one or more target objects and a second object being identified as not belonging to the one or more target objects, logging one or more results of the identification of each of the one or more objects of interest and a corresponding treatment decision; and activating the treatment mechanism to treat the one or more target objects.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes performing, using a processor onboard a vehicle, a machine learning (ML) processing on sensor input from sensors onboard an agricultural vehicle, identifying, according to a rule, a subset of data resulting from the ML processing and generating and displaying, in real-time, the subset of data to a user interface, thereby enabling a user interaction with the subset of data.

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, receiving data representing a policy specifying a type of action for an agricultural object, selecting an emitter with which to perform a type of action for the agricultural object as one of one or more classified subsets, and configuring the agricultural projectile delivery system to activate an emitter to propel an agricultural projectile to intercept the agricultural object.

In some examples, a method may include receiving data representing an image, detecting a portion of the image associated with a unit of spatial translation relative to a reference, identifying a subset of pixels to be formed on the surface, and causing emission of a subset of pixel projectiles directed to impact a portion of a surface to form a replica of a portion of the image.

In some examples, a method may include calculating an amount of light originating from a light source sensed at a location in which an agricultural object is interposed between the light source and an image capture device, causing emission of an obscurant, and directing the obscurant to a region interposed between the light source and the agricultural object.
