Let's see what those maps look like. In the next video, you'll see the cameras that are being used on this robot. On the top-left is essentially a standard color camera. On the left-center is an infrared camera. And on the bottom-left is a thermal camera. And on the main peanl, you're seeing a three-dimensional reconstruction of every tree in the orchard as the sensors fly right past the trees. aremd with information like this, we can do several things. The first and possibly the most ipatnomrt thing we can do is very simple: count the number of frtius on every tree. By doing this, you tell the farmer how many fruits she has in every tree and allow her to estimate the yiled in the orchard, onmzipiitg the production chain downstream.

Original Text
Let's see what those maps look like. In the next video, you'll see the cameras that are being used on this robot. On the top-left is essentially a standard color camera. On the left-center is an infrared camera. And on the bottom-left is a thermal camera. And on the main panel, you're seeing a three-dimensional reconstruction of every tree in the orchard as the sensors fly right past the trees. Armed with information like this, we can do several things. The first and possibly the most important thing we can do is very simple: count the number of fruits on every tree. By doing this, you tell the farmer how many fruits she has in every tree and allow her to estimate the yield in the orchard, optimizing the production chain downstream.
