I know some people in viticulture, In place/field analysis has its benefits.
Cheap, User-Friendly Smartphone App Predicts Vineyard Yields
Cornell Chronicle, Krishna Ramanujan, May 17, 2021
Cornell University engineers and plant scientists have developed an inexpensive machine learning application to predict vineyard yields earlier in the season and with greater accuracy than costlier manual counting techniques. Growers can use a smartphone to record video of their grapevines, then upload the footage to a server to process; the system uses computer vision to improve yield estimates. Cornell's Kirstin Petersen said, "Compared to the technology, a farmer would have to manually count 70% of their vineyard to gain the same level of confidence in their yield prediction, and no one would do that." As a result, Petersen said, “This could be a real game-changer for small and medium-sized farms in the Northeast.”
