Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for recovering LED light in indoor multi-level farms. A plurality of cameras and sensors capture in real time in a vertical farm environment a plurality of camera images and sensor data. The camera images include physical images of the vertical farm environment, and the sensor data includes light data. The camera images and sensor data are analyzed to identify a pattern of light origin and direction in the vertical farm environment. The plant characteristics are identified based on comparing the captured camera images, using image recognition, against a model. Based on the identified plant characteristics, manipulating the light data. The plant characteristics include plant species growth state and general health. The light is manipulated by breaking it into component visible light wavelengths. The model predicts optimizing the redirecting of the optimal wavelengths for improved plant growth.
