Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring agricultural products. In particular, the present invention relates to monitoring fruit production, plant growth, and plant vitality.

Claim (Index 28):
A method, comprising:\n receiving data from a 3D laser scanner, wherein the 3D laser scanner assembles point cloud data of the plant by creating a plurality of three dimensional vertices having three dimensional coordinates that are relative to the 3D laser scanner; receiving data from a camera, wherein the camera collects photographic data by taking an image of the plant; receiving data from a global positioning satellite (\u201cGPS\u201d) receiver, wherein the GPS receiver measures a location of a transport vehicle; geo-registering the assembled point cloud data by associating each three dimensional coordinate of the assembled point cloud data with a GPS coordinate using a relational database; geo-register the photographic data by associating each three dimensional vertex of the assembled point cloud data with a pixel of the photographic data using the relational database; determining plant color based on said photographic data; determining classification data comprising plant stem diameter, plant height, plant volume, or plant leaf density using the GPS coordinates of the assembled point cloud data; providing data for determining plant quality based on plant color and one of plant stem diameter, plant height, plant volume, or plant leaf density; and communicating instructions that control a fruit tree sprayer to spray the plant based on the quality of the plant, wherein the fruit tree sprayer controls when to spray, how long to spray, and what chemicals to spray on the plant based on the quality of the plant.
