1 HighTech meets Agro: Vision Systems in Daily Practise Ir. Hans Izeboud, director Aris bv High Tech Campus Eindhoven, November 9th 2016

2 Introduction Aris & Hans Izeboud Aris is an independent company, based in Eindhoven, the centre of Brainport the Netherlands, specialized in the development of advanced Machine Vision Systems for Handling, Grading and Phenotyping Agri & Food products. Motto: Understanding by Identification Started in 1990, more than 200 year of Machine Vision - experience available. At this moment, more than 850 Aris Machine Vision Systems are running worldwide in more than 40 different applications.

3 Aris Machine Vision Systems Machine Vision is the technology and methods used to provide imagingbased automatic inspection and analysis Aris Machine Vision Systems are focused on Agro & Food sectors Chain-wide approach to gather smart data for growing in control Examples for AMVS Chain approaches are: Meat chain: poultry, pig Ornamental chain: phalaenopsis, anthurium, rose Vegetable chain: tomato, pepper, cucumber

4 Aris in the Meat Chain Inspired by Christien Meindertsma: PIG PIG 05049: 103,7 kg Skin: 3kg Fat: 5,4 kg Meat: 54 kg Bones: 15,2 kg Organs: 14,1 kg Blood: 5,5 kg Miscileneous: 6,5 kg At least185 different products are made out of one pig More pig info: TED talk Christien Meindertsma The world is running on pigs

5 Pas Reform s SmartCount: Vision counting one-day chicks Pas Reform High capacity (> / hour) High accuracy (< 0.2%) Reporting per batch Better efficiency Better uniformity Better animal wellfare Aris is participating in the project: Broederij van de toekomst

6 Marel s IRIS: Vision for High Throughput Poultry Grading High capacity ( / hour), High performance (> 98%), Reporting per batch State of the art hardware (IPC, Color Camera, Controlled LED lighting) Cooperation Aris Marel / Stork started in 1992

7 IRIS in Daily Practice

8 Aris in the ornamental chain: Inspirend by Ursus Wehrli: TED talk: Tidying up art Ursus Wehrli

9 Tidying up Phalaenopsis: PikoPlant mp0901coprz201127g Aris bv Phalaenopsis mp0901coprz201127g: 2 Sticks 6 Clips 2 Branches 22 Buds 4 Flowers Frontcolour: redbrown Backcolour: yellow 6 Sidebranches 8 Leaves green 3 Leaves yellow 56 Parts airroots 1 Base 79+ Bark 1 Pot

10 The growing of Phalaenopsis in 45 weeks Week 1 Week 6 Week 11 Week 16 Week 21 Week 26 Week 31 Week 36 Week 41 Week 45

11 Phalaenopsis 3.0: New standard in plant grading! Grading in buffer with 48 positions: Rapport System ID Tag number Height Number of branches Number of Buds + Flowers Number of Open Flowers Number of Side branches Ripeness biggest bud (mm) Pincers value for A2 Example:

12 4-D Vision: Real-time Monitoring Phalaenopsis Aris 4-D Machine Vision for Phenotyping Phalaenopsis by measuring in time the growth of the stems, the thickness of the buds,?

13 ArisVision for Digitizing Phalaenopsis Internet of Plants

14 Aris in the Vegetable chain: Inspirend by Jacob van den Borne: Precision Farming Cycle for Patatoes

15 Vegetables chainwide. Van zaadje naar tomaatje Van zaadje naar bilnaadje

16 Germination Vision System PM31: Aris/Flier Germination Vision System Gitzels Breeding Services: From seed to digital output Internet of Plants!

17 4-D Vision: Real-time Monitoring Tomato Plant 4-D Aris Machine Vision for Phenotyping Tomato Plant by measuring in time the growth of the leaves, the thickness of the stem,?

18 FlexTray: disruptive technology

19 Plantmonitor Argos: 4-D Vision

20 Argos - Aris Monitor System for Young Plant: The Internet of Plants

21 Argos - Aris Monitor System for Young Plant: The Internet of Plants Monitor the growth of leafarea of individual plants Based on time lapse images Automatic segmentation Automatic measurements Results stored and presented in grapics

22 PlantMonitor Box Showed on PAG 2016, Sold to Purdue Purpose: physical measurements and growth dynamics over time to enable basic research Arabidopsis rosettes, crop seedlings, corn ears, harvested grain, bacterial colonies Time series capabilities for growth and development rates Lowest possible cost for multi-user applications Imaging: Top view, high resolution RGB, optional multispectral, thermal and other camera types
