- Company Description
- Human Vision is not only time consuming but has it limitation due to cognitive bias.In traditional agricultural practices, various challenges hinder the accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability of crop management and yield estimation. At present, the labor cost in orchard management and maintenance accounts for 56% of the total cost, among which pruning accounts for about 20% of the total cost.
At Cropmind, we use Computer Vision technology to enhance Fruit Growers' Decision-Making with Data-Driven Solutions. Our software and camera hardware collect and analyze crop data throughout the fruit life cycle. From unit tree segmentation to tree branch clustering, we aid pruning decisions. We enable crop load control through flower and fruit abscission analysis. Accurate apple counting and sizing help plan harvest efficiently. Empowering fruit growers with quick and informed decision-making capabilities.
Our computer vision technology enables farmers to monitor crop health and make adjustments to their inputs, resulting in reduced reliance on chemical thinning, fertilizers, and manual labor. This not only leads to cost savings but also promotes environmental sustainability by minimizing the impact of farming operations.
