Abstract: An autonomous system for providing consistent images of leaves of plants is disclosed which includes a mobility unit configured to move from an originating position to a position about a plant in a field, one or more vacuum units coupled to the mobility unit configured to be positioned above one or more leaves of the plant, the one or more vacuum units each having one or more fans coupled to an air inlet having a grate, and configured to elevate the one or more leaves of the plant onto the grate, one or more imaging systems each having one or more cameras configured to obtain images from the one or more leaves of the plant, and a controller configured to control position of the mobility unit and activate the one or more imaging system to thereby obtain images from the one or more leaves of the plant.
