Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: a scene perceptor, implemented at least partially in one or more of configurable logic or fixed functionality logic hardware, to generate a three-dimensional (3D) map of a terrain based on depth data associated with one or more drones; a condition analyzer, implemented at least partially in one or more of configurable logic or fixed functionality logic hardware, to identify one or more agricultural conditions based the depth data and color data associated with at least one of the one or more drones, wherein the condition analyzer includes an object recognizer to recognize one or more crop-related objects, and a neural network to conduct an analysis of the one or more crop-related objects; a camera locator, implemented at least partially in one or more of configurable logic or fixed functionality logic hardware, to generate pose data based on the depth data and inertia data associated with the one or more drones; a map enhancer, implemented at least partially in one or more of configurable logic or fixed functionality logic hardware, communicatively coupled to the scene perceptor and the condition analyzer, the map enhancer to annotate the 3D map with the one or more agricultural conditions and the pose data; and a drone controller, implemented at least partially in one or more of configurable logic or fixed functionality logic hardware, to trigger a collection of the depth data at an increased proximity to the one or more crop-related objects based on the one or more agricultural conditions, wherein one or more images associated with the collection are to correspond to a canopied area of an interior space.
