Horticulture

In horticulture, computer vision plays a vital role by enabling precise plant monitoring and phenotyping through image analysis. Robotics, equipped with advanced vision systems, offer the capability to automate tasks like precision pruning, harvesting, and sorting of fruits and vegetables. Machine learning algorithms enhance decision-making in horticulture, optimising irrigation, crop management, and resource allocation, fostering sustainable and efficient practices in greenhouses.
