HoloLens Image Processing

Hololens Image Processing Augmented reality for Horticulture We selected the Hololens 2 as our AR platform for our explorations in augmented reality for Horticulture ,due to it’s state of the art array of sensors and cameras. The tasks we develop from this device will serve as prototypes for future programs in the greenhouse. Some tasks require training and expertise from growers, like determining when a flower is ready for harvest. Others like counting the number of flowers in the compartment are labor intensive. With the HoloLens 2 these tasks could become as easy as pressing a button or speaking a few words. The hololens 2 comes equipped with a camera on the front side which we use to take an image. This image is sent to a computer using wifi. From there the image travels to a computer or server that could be many miles away. Vision algorithms on this computer can then detect and count the flowers in the image. The resulting value is send back to the hololens and displayed as an overlay for the user. This method works for many different computer vision algorithms from ripeness to disease detection and could become a valuable tool to train new technicians. Interested?
