A method for adjusting camera operation parameters of a camera mounted on a plant treatment system as the plant treatment system moves through a field, the method comprising: capturing, by the camera, an image of one or more plants within the field, wherein the captured image comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel of the plurality of pixels being assigned a pixel value that describes a light intensity within a color space; inputting the captured image into a plant detection model to identify pixels within the captured image that represent plants, wherein the plant detection model identifies pixels representing plants by: determining, for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, whether the pixel value assigned to the pixel describes a light intensity that is within a plant identification region of the color space, wherein the plant identification region of the color space defines light intensities that represent plants; identifying a subset of the plurality of pixels as representing the one or more plants based on the determination of whether each of the pixel values for the plurality of pixels are within the plant identification region of the color space; and adjusting one or more camera operation parameters of the camera based on the pixel values of each of the identified subset of pixels that represent the one or more plants. capturing, by the camera, an image of one or more plants within the field, wherein the captured image comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel of the plurality of pixels being assigned a pixel value that describes a light intensity within a color space; inputting the captured image into a plant detection model to identify pixels within the captured image that represent plants, wherein the plant detection model identifies pixels representing plants by: determining, for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, whether the pixel value assigned to the pixel describes a light intensity that is within a plant identification region of the color space, wherein the plant identification region of the color space defines light intensities that represent plants; identifying a subset of the plurality of pixels as representing the one or more plants based on the determination of whether each of the pixel values for the plurality of pixels are within the plant identification region of the color space; and adjusting one or more camera operation parameters of the camera based on the pixel values of each of the identified subset of pixels that represent the one or more plants. determining, for each pixel of the plurality of pixels, whether the pixel value assigned to the pixel describes a light intensity that is within a plant identification region of the color space, wherein the plant identification region of the color space defines light intensities that represent plants; identifying a subset of the plurality of pixels as representing the one or more plants based on the determination of whether each of the pixel values for the plurality of pixels are within the plant identification region of the color space; and adjusting one or more camera operation parameters of the camera based on the pixel values of each of the identified subset of pixels that represent the one or more plants.
