Abstract: A mobile sensory platform includes a propulsion system configured to move the platform within a growing area, a vertically-extending support, and sensors in or on the support. Different sensors are positioned at different heights along the support. The sensors are configured to capture data associated with plants in the growing area. The platform also includes a communication interface configured to support two-way wireless communication, a power supply, and a control system configured to control movement of the platform and operation of the sensors. The sensors include microclimate sensors configured to sense microclimates around individual ones of the plants and stereo imaging sensors configured to capture images of the plants. The sensors are configured to non-invasively capture multi-dimensional data points for the individual ones of the plants. At least some of the multi-dimensional data points are associated with a 3D structure of a canopy of the individual ones of the plants.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data pertaining to each of multiple plants in a growing area from a mobile sensory platform that includes (i) a propulsion system configured to move the mobile sensory platform along a ground of the growing area and (ii) multiple sensors configured to capture the sensor data associated with the multiple plants. The method also includes processing the sensor data using a predictive model to identify one or more issues affecting at least one of the plants. The method further includes generating a graphical user interface that includes a graphical representation of the growing area. In addition, the method includes identifying, using one or more markers in the graphical representation of the growing area, one or more locations of the at least one of the plants having the one or more issues. The sensor data includes information about a three-dimensional structure of each of the plants.

Abstract: A multi-sensor device comprises a housing containing multiple sensor modules for capturing and transmitting sensor data for plants in a crop. A control unit within the housing is operable to control the sensor modules, and a communications interface is connected to the control unit for transmitting data from said plurality of sensor modules. The sensor modules can include a physiological sensor, a surface analysis sensor, and chemical sensor. The multi-sensor device can be used as a hand-held device or mounted to a mobile platform for use in an automated crop monitoring system.
