Claim 12:
13. A computerized system for assessment of the status of a Cannabaceae plant, using a neural network, said system comprising:
one or more photographic imagers;
one or more user terminals receiving image data from said one or more photographic imagers; and
a computing subsystem comprising one or more processors and communication links connecting said one or more user terminals to said one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform the following steps:
(a) training a neural network to predict a THC value of a Cannabaceae plant, by providing said neural network from the user terminals with a plurality of (i) first set of photographic images of non-Cannabaceae plants; and (ii) second set of known photographic images of Cannabaceae plants, and an input THC value associated with each image from said second set of photographic images;
wherein said input THC value is determined using results of chemical composition laboratory tests obtained with HPLC or GC or HPLC-MS or GC-MS test equipment and test methods, said tests performed on the Cannabaceae plants captured in said known photographic images;
(b) opening to said user terminal with an access to said trained neural network;
(c) inputting an unknown photographic image of a Cannabaceae plant by said user terminal;
(d) performing an analysis of said unknown photographic image Cannabaceae plant using said trained neural network to obtain a predicted THC value;
(e) extracting features from said unknown photographic image of a Cannabaceae plant using image processing, the features including shape, size, density and color of the trichomes imaged in the unknown photographic image;
(f) calculating and reporting to said user terminal, an output based on the predicted THC value or the features or a combination thereof, the output comprises at least one of: maturity of the plant for harvesting; assessment of post-production Cannabaceae plant product quality and price.
