Patent ID: 11935282
Assignee: NORIO IWASAWA
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program implemented by a processor, the program causing the processor to:
input first images obtained by image capturing crops in a manner such that crop shapes are extractable are input based on satisfying preset image-capturing conditions;
input growth stages each indicating a level of physiological growth of the crops is input for each of the first images;
construct a learned model by performing deep learning to associate images of the crops and growth stages of the crops based on the input first images and the input growth stage;
input a second image obtained by image capturing crops a growth stage of which is unknown, in a manner such that crop-shapes are extractable based on satisfying the preset image-capturing conditions:
determine the growth stage for the input second image based on the learned model; and
output the determined growth stage;
wherein the crops are paddy rice, and
the processor performs deep learning to associate images, from which shapes of the paddy rice are extractable, with growth stages including panicle initiation, the panicle initiation being a time point at which differentiation of a young panicle wrapped in a leaf sheath starts.
