Location CSVs
Why
...
: This important information is used in the pipeline to automatically label detection results and the resulting plant cutouts.
| Note |
|---|
It’s important that species locations stays consistent throughout the growing season. |
Who
...
: BenchBot operators on the ground at each location
When
...
: Once when pots are initially placed and anytime afterward if the location of species changes. The location of species (pots) should not change once the season starts, however; if species location changes, the pipeline dev group should be notified.
Pots within individual species groups can, and will likely move from day-to-day operations (see below about avoiding border drift). But species location should not change.
Where
...
: A single map should include all benches/potting areas and should be made for each location.
Ideally, this map should only need to be created once and sent once to the the pipeline dev group.
How:
Map
...
: Drawing or use an excel spread sheet that clearly delineates the relative position of species in each potting area.
Avoid drifting species-species borders:
Transition areas from one species to another should stay consistent. In another words, an imaginary line separating 2 species potting groups should not move or drift throughout the season from day-to-day operations.
BenchBot operators should place a small gap separating species groups. This gives some leeway for slight drift overtime while insuring species stay separated.
What:
Identify
bench number
species name in USDA symbol
pot row number or barcode number
“0,0” origin for each bench
