Abstract
A farming machine identifies and treats a plant as the farming machine travels through a field. The farming machine includes a pair of image sensors for capturing images of a plant. The image sensors are different, and their output images are used to generate a depth map to improve the plant identification process. A control system identifies a plant using the depth map. The control system captures images, identifies a plant, and actuates a treatment mechanism in real time.
