Description

AEC is seeking a solution re an artificial intelligence platform re weed detection and control. The use of a high-resolution camera system to selectively apply fungicides and fertilizers based on real-time observations as the sprayer cross the field. The system is to detect a weed at three to five metres in front of the boom, currently in some cases, the cameras may see a weed, but it will be too small for the algorithm to confidently commit to calling it a weed. Refinement of the artificial intelligence that processes the data coming from their cameras is needed to improve current systems. The ITT document provides further details of this requirement.

ITT documents can be acquired via the following website:-
