Abstract
A farming machine is configured to identify and compensate for occlusions in the field of view of its image acquisition system. To do so, the machine captures an image using a first set of capture parameters associated with a first set of treatment results. The farming machine identifies an occlusion in the first image that obstructs a portion of the first image and determines occlusion characteristics representative of the occlusion based on image data in the first image. The farming machine compensates for the identified occlusion based on the occlusion characteristics. The farming machine captures a second image using modified set of capture parameters that compensate for the occlusion. The second image is associated with a second set of treatment results. The farming machine transmits the second set of treatment results to a manager of the farming machine.
