Description (French)
La vision par ordinateur permet aux producteurs de visiter le terrain pendant la récolte et simplement balayer le haut d'un contenant de produits en utilisant une tablette mobile avec des accessoires de balayage 3D à intervalles progressifs pendant le chargement du produit. Après le téléchargement et le traitement de balayage 3D, les producteurs pourront consulter des rapports individuels et agrégés des résultats des produits récoltés, tels que la taille, la quantité, l'emplacement, l'heure et d'autres critères de rapport dans le système Croptracker.
