Baselining criteria for rf sensing in horticulture application

Abstract

The invention provides a horticulture system () comprising a plurality of repeating horticulture system units () and a control system (), wherein: each horticulture system unit () comprises (i) a horticulture unit space () and (ii) a radio transmission pair () arranged to monitor the horticulture unit space (), wherein the radio transmission pair () comprises a radio transmitter and a radio receiver arranged in radio signal receiving relationship; the control system () is configured to execute in a unit sensing stage () a measurement in at least one of the horticulture unit spaces () with the respective radio transmission pair (); the control system () is further configured in an operational mode to: (i) execute a first signal sensing stage (), wherein the first signal sensing stage () comprises the unit sensing stage () with a first radio transmission pair () related to first horticulture unit space () thereby providing a first signal () to the control system (); and (ii) determine a plant-related parameter data based on (a) the first signal () and (b) a baseline signal (), wherein the baseline signal () is based on a second signal () obtained with an execution of a second signal sensing stage (), wherein the second signal sensing stage () comprises the unit sensing stage () with a second radio transmission pair () related to a second horticulture unit space () thereby providing the second signal ().
