Abstract
Various embodiments relate generally to computer vision and automation to autonomously identify and deliver for application a treatment to an object among other objects, data science and data analysis, including machine learning, deep learning, and other disciplines of computer-based artificial intelligence to facilitate identification and treatment of objects, and robotics and mobility technologies to navigate a delivery system, more specifically, to an agricultural delivery system configured to identify and apply, for example, an agricultural treatment to an identified agricultural object. In some examples, a method may include calculating an amount of light originating from a light source sensed at a location in which an agricultural object is interposed between the light source and an image capture device, causing emission of an obscurant, and directing the obscurant to a region interposed between the light source and the agricultural object.
