This service tests the robustness and accuracy of a solution to detect moving objects, such as people. We conduct these tests manually in the field to ensure that your device is evaluated under realistic conditions, providing you with reliable insights into its performance and areas for improvement. The test will be done under various conditions (different illuminations, rain, sunshine, diffuse light, etc.) to address the needs of your customers. You will receive a report of the system's capabilities as well as under which conditions the detection should be improved.

Testing of weeding performance

Horticulture

Our service offers comprehensive field trials to test the performance of your AI-based weeding system. Before the system operates, we record essential environmental data such as soil conditions and weather. We assess the crops and weeds either manually or with automated tools, and re-evaluate them post-weeding to measure the system's effectiveness. Our trials can be conducted on fields provided by us or at external locations of your choosing. This testing gives you clear, objective insights into your system’s performance and helps identify any potential issues under real-world conditions.
