Non-Destructive Crop Growth Assessment Using Image-Based PVC Framework

by

We designed an image analysis framework in the agrivoltaics field to assess crop growth using non-destructive methods. The key was to remove background noise, as the pictures were taken in the field. Our idea was to connect the Photoroom API to our R code, and by using the AI background removal feature of Photoroom, we successfully removed all noise, including weeds.
