Vineyard analysis sensor

In 2022, Vivelys invested in Bloomfield Robotics through its parent company Oeneo. Since then, the two companies have been working together to develop a new global vineyard analysis tool to address climate change issues. This new tool is a sensor with the primary role of determining the yield of a vineyard plot.

The images taken by the camera are processed by Deep Learning AI systems. This is a branch of AI capable of analysing unstructured data such as images, videos, or text. 

It is a system based on several layers of interconnected artificial neural networks, like a human brain. These networks are made up of dozens or even hundreds of 'layers' of neurons, each receiving and interpreting information from the previous layer. The more layers there are, the deeper the learning process.

The sensor features of a stereo camera and active lighting that film the entire plant to provide an accurate assessment of its key characteristics throughout the season. 

Stereo camera: this is a type of camera with two or more lenses and a separate image sensor or film frame for each lens. As a result, the camera can simulate human binocular vision and capture 3D images.

With the right fittings, the sensor can be attached to any type of viticultural vehicle, tractor, straddle tractor, quad, etc.

It can be used day and night at speeds of up to 20 km/h. It surveys 10-15 ha/day (30 to 50% of the area covered). 30% is the minimum recommended for accurate estimates.
