chalynx
AI-supported solution for identifying plants and their condition directly in the field in real time.
Overview
The chalynx computer vision system enables the detection and tracking of trained objects under consistent conditions, almost regardless of the time of day.
Powerful light synchronization and light sources with various spectra, uniform images can be produced.
The system can be equipped with various 2D and 3D cameras.
Description
The modular chalynx computer vision system allows you to respond to the specific requirements of the application thanks to its modular design.
Thanks to the easy scalability of the flash lighting, it can allow extreme light outputs (up to 2 kW, ~100,000 lx) to be called up within a short notice, synchronized with the respective camera with microsecond precision.
With up to four GMSL cameras, objects can be precisely detected and spatially located in two- and three-dimensional space.
The various interfaces enable easy integration into existing systems. With Gbit Ethernet (M12) and CAN, multiple devices can communicate with each other. The internal processor is based on an NVIDIA Orin NX.
Up to six valve controls are also available. Additional analogue and digital inputs/outputs expand the range of functions.
Thanks to its design, the chalynx system continues to run reliably even under adverse conditions, such as a cold start or a load dump.
Typical areas of application:
– In-row hacking system
– Laser weeding
– Crop sorting
– Plant row detection in the field
– Phenotyping
