Claim 7:
8. A method implemented by a treatment system on a moving platform having one or more processors, a storage, and a treatment mechanism, comprising:
obtaining, by the treatment system disposed on a vehicle, images of a region of an agricultural environment;
determining target objects by applying a sequence of image processing algorithms to portions of images of an agricultural environment ingested from sensors on the moving platform, wherein the sequence of image processing algorithms includes a machine learning (ML) algorithm; and
applying the treatment to the objects by activating the treatment mechanism;
wherein, the sequence of image processing algorithms is applied such that upon detecting an object in a first image by a first image processing algorithm, processing of the object by the first image processing algorithm is turned off for next N frames and the object is tracked by a second image processing algorithm for the next N frames, where N is a positive integer.
