Object image recognition and instant active response with enhanced application and utility
A device for pollinating plants such as flowering trees. The device is a movable platform such as a drone that has an image capturing device that is in communication with image recognition software. Images of plants are analyzed to detect objects that are consistent with pollen-receiving plants and/or plant areas. Once such plant object is detected, the device automatically disperses pollen in the proximity of the detected plant or plant object.
1. A device for detecting plant objects, comprising:
a movable platform;
an image capturing device disposed on the movable platform;
an image recognition system in communication with the image capturing device, the image recognition system being trained to recognize a characteristic of a plant that is adapted to receive pollen;
a storage reservoir storing pollen therein;
an action head adapted to disperse pollen;
software configured to detect a presence of a plant that is adapted to receive pollen and to cause the action head to disperse pollen in the proximity of said plant.
2. The device of claim 1 , whereby the movable platform is a drone.
3. The device of claim 2 , whereby the software is configured to navigate the drone toward a plant when a plant object of interest is detected.
4. The device of claim 2 , further comprising a movable arm whereby the action head is mounted on the movable arm.
5. The device of claim 2 , whereby the drone is remotely controlled by an operator.
6. The device of claim 2 , whereby the drone is autonomously controlled according to pre-programmed rules.
7. The device of claim 1 , where the movable platform is an aircraft.
8. The device of claim 1 , whereby the movable platform is a dirigible.
9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising software configured to control movement of the movable platform.
10. The device of claim 1 , whereby the characteristic of a plant that is adapted to receive pollen is a flower.
11. The device of claim 1 , whereby the characteristic of a plant that is adapted to receive pollen is pistil.
12. The device of claim 1 , whereby the plant that is adapted to receive pollen is a tree.
