SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS MONITORING AND/OR OPTIMIZATION OF PLANT GROWTH

A system for autonomous monitoring and/or optimization of plant (140) growth is provided. The system may include actuation devices configured to interact with an agricultural area (120), image sensors (130) configured to capture images (170) of a plant (140) in the agricultural area (120), and a processor (150) in communication with the image sensors (130) and the actuation devices. The processor (150) may be configured to store, via a memory (160), a first image (170) of the agricultural area (120) captured prior to a first actuation of the actuation devices; and trigger, synchronously with the first actuation, the image sensors (130) to capture a second image (180) of the agricultural area (120). The processor (150) may be further configured to detect features of the plant (140) in the first and second images (170) of the agricultural area (120); evaluate the detected features of the plant (140) for visual plant qualities (210); and dynamically set one or more parameters (190) of the actuation devices based on the visual plant qualities (210).
