Abstract
Implementations are described herein for normalizing counts of plant-parts-of-interest detected in digital imagery to account for differences in spatial dimensions of plants, particularly plant heights. In various implementations, one or more digital images depicting a top of a first plant may be processed. The one or more digital images may have been acquired by a vision sensor carried over top of the first plant by a ground-based vehicle. Based on the processing: a distance of the vision sensor to the first plant may be estimated, and a count of visible plant-parts-of-interest that were captured within a field of view of the vision sensor may be determined. Based on the estimated distance, the count of visible plant-parts-of-interest may be normalized with another count of visible plant-parts-of-interest determined from one or more digital images capturing a second plant.
