Digital Sense is a Computer Vision and Machine Learning R&D studio, that helps innovative companies face highly-complex technological challenges with sophisticated AI and Image Processing solutions. In this presentation we show our work for Montes Del Plata, an important Eucalyptus cellulose pulp producer committed to sustainability. Our team developed a tractor-mountable computer vision module that detects weeds in Eucalyptus plantations in real time as herbicide is sprayed. To this end, we selected components, designed and built the image acquisition system and embedded processing module. As the machine operates, a video of the planted line is fed to the embedded computer, where image processing algorithms and a deep-learning model run in real time to detect and locate weeds in order to enable targeted spraying.
