Project Overview

Combines computer vision and agricultural equipment to distinguish between crops and weeds .

Layman's Explanation

Instead of spraying an entire field and wasting chemicals, the machine now “sees” which plants are weeds and only sprays them—saving money and the environment.

Analogy

It’s like giving your garden hose a brain, so it only waters the flowers and not the weeds.

Details

Blue River Technology uses computer vision and machine learning to enable agricultural machines to distinguish between crops and weeds in real time. Their "see and spray" system captures high-resolution images as machinery moves through fields, instantly classifies each plant, and applies herbicide only where needed. This plant-by-plant approach reduces chemical use, minimizes environmental impact, and improves crop outcomes by avoiding over-spraying and crop damage.
