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.

Abstract: An autonomous system for providing consistent images of leaves of plants is disclosed which includes a mobility system configured to move from an originating position to a position above a plant in a field, a robotic system coupled to the mobility system, the robotic system includes a manipulator providing a plurality of degrees of freedom, and an imaging system having an imaging chamber and one or more cameras, the imaging system coupled to the manipulator, the manipulator and the imaging system cooperate to position the imaging system about a leaf of a plant such that the manipulator articulates the imaging chamber substantially parallel and in line with the leaf and further moves the imaging system so that the leaf enters the imaging chamber thereby allowing the imaging system to obtain images of the leaf.
