The system is to detect a weed at three to five metres in front of the boom, currently in some cases, the cameras may see a weed, but it will be too small for the algorithm to confidently commit to calling it a weed. Refinement of the artificial intelligence that processes the data coming from their cameras is needed to improve current systems. The ITT document provides further details of this requirement.
