VISION BASED TARGETING OF AGRICULTURAL OBJECTS
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 receive captured sensor data of an agricultural environment by one or more image capture devices, generate a first image from the captured sensor data, detect a first real-world agricultural object from the first image, determine a first pose of the first real-world agricultural object, identify the detected first real-world agricultural object as a new agricultural object or a preidentified agricultural object, and determine a treatment policy associated with the first real-world agricultural object.
SYSTEM, METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR SPRAYING INSECT CONTROL SUBSTANCES
The invention is a portable sprayer for liquids and particulate-containing liquids, including a fluid storage module having at least one fluid tank, a fluid transport module in fluid connection with the fluid storage module, a distribution block, and a dispersion module in fluid connection with the fluid transport module, having a turbine, an adjustable nozzle connected to the turbine in fluid connection with the fluid transport module and air flow connection with the turbine. Fluid exits the dispersion module under a pressure of approximately 100 psi and the sprayer emits droplets containing particulates about 130 microns in diameter to a height of 100 feet vertically.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING, DETECTING, MONITORING, EVALUATING AND TREATING CROP PESTS
An automated system for monitoring and treating pests in a crop field, comprising at least one trap for monitoring and identifying pests, at least one UA V containing at least one chemical or biological products; a home base for parking or storing said at least one UA V when they are not operating; at least one database server; and equipment for communicating with said at least one trap, said at least one home base, said at least one UA V and said at least one database server.
Agricultural vehicle with adjustable row unit
An agricultural vehicle comprises a left frame and a right frame. A left wheel is rotatable with respect to the left frame and a right wheel is rotatable with respect to the right frame. A first leg extends upward from the left frame and a second leg extends upward from the right frame to connect the legs to the beam. A data processor estimates a reference point on or below the vehicle and an angular orientation or attitude of the beam relative to the reference point based on positions of location-determining receivers associated with the beam. An upper carriage is laterally movable along the beam. A lower carriage is suspended from the upper carriage by a plurality of vertical supports, such that a target lateral position of the upper carriage establishes an actual lateral position of the lower carriage.
MODULAR SPRAYING LEG
A spraying leg for an agricultural spraying machine, to an air-flow module for such a leg, and to an agricultural spraying machine provided with at least one such leg. Agricultural spraying machines which comprise spraying legs are known from the prior art, each spraying leg being provided with air diffuser and spray nozzle units, making it possible to send phytosanitary products driven by pulsed air onto the vegetation to be treated. A spraying nozzle is provided which can easily be adapted to the nature of the plants to be treated, in particular to the height and the configuration thereof. The spraying nozzle comprises at least one mounting, and a plurality of spraying modules attached to the mounting, each module forming an air-flow duct capable of each supporting at least one air diffuser and spray nozzle unit, the modules being connected to one another.
SELF-MOVING DEVICE, CHARGING STATION, AUTOMATIC WORKING SYSTEM, AND INSECT SUPPRESSION DEVICE THEREOF
An insect suppression device, and further relates to a self-moving device, a charging station, and an automatic working system that are mounted with the insect suppression device are provided. The self-moving device moves in a working area, performs a working task, and includes: a body and a movement module that is mounted on the body and drives the self-moving device to move. The self-moving device includes: an insect suppression device, mounted to the body, and a control module, controlling the movement module to move and controlling the insect suppression device to work. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The self-moving device can move autonomously in the working area and perform an insect suppression task, and has a wide coverage area, flexible work, and high efficiency, so that automatic control can be implemented, thereby freeing a user from the harassment of insects.
Adjustable row unit and vehicle with adjustable row unit
A first leg extends upward from the left frame and a second leg extends upward from the right frame to connect the legs to the beam. One or more satellite navigation receivers are associated with beam to determine a position and an attitude of the beam. One or more row units are suspended from the beam, each row unit having a first nozzle and a second nozzle, wherein the first nozzle and the second nozzle are associated with an adjustable reference position in one or more dimensions with respect to the beam.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPRAYING A PRODUCT, IN PARTICULAR A PLANT-PROTECTION PRODUCT
The present invention relates to a system for spraying a product, notably a plant-protection product, comprising product spray nozzles (10) and airflow generating means (110), characterized in that the airflow generating means comprise an outlet (112) in the form of an annular slit designed to generate an airflow (102) in the form of a continuous tubular curtain of air enclosing the jets (12) emanating from the spray nozzles (10) and that the sprayed product cannot cross.
SPRAYING DEVICE
Spraying device for an agricultural machine, comprising a carrier and at least one nozzle capable of spraying an aerosol product, the carrier being hollow in order to be able to conduct propellant air to the at least one nozzle, the at least one nozzle being selectively mountable on and dismountable from the carrier, preferably without using tools.
Spray Head For An Agricultural Sprayer
A spray head for an agricultural sprayer, the spray head including a fan with a central axis, the spray head also including dual liquid manifolds coaxial about the fan's central axis, each manifold having a plurality of spray nozzles positioned to be capable of spraying liquid into air exiting the fan, and each manifold having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet so as to permit individual control of liquid through each manifold.
