Abstract

A method of monitoring produce comprises: mounting a portable computing device to a mounting bracket and initiating a mounted operation mode; receiving, in the mounted operation mode, a first image, the first image being of first produce, at the portable computing device; determining, with the portable computing device or a remote device communicatively coupled to the portable computing device, at least one parameter associated with the first produce based on the first image; demounting the portable computing device from the mounting bracket and initiating a second operation mode; capturing, after demounting the portable computing device, a second image, the second image being of second produce; receiving, in the second operation mode, the second image at the portable computing device; and determining, with the portable computing device or a remote device communicatively coupled to the portable computing device, at least one parameter associated with the second produce based on the second image.

Abstract

A harvester monitoring system configured to determine one or more parameters associated with harvested items, the system comprising: a camera module having a field of view and configured to generate image data associated with the harvested items; a mounting bracket configured to secure the camera module to a harvester such that a conveyor of the harvester is within the field of view of the camera module; a location sub-system configured to determine and output location data representative of a geographical location of the harvester monitoring system; and a processing unit configured to receive the image data and the location data, to determine one or more parameters associated with the harvested items, and to record the one or more parameters in association with the location data on a computer readable medium.
