Our software runs on any suitable camera, including Android phones. We install our software directly on the device, utilizing its onboard computing power to run the segmentation model in real-time.
Why Root Vision
Different markets, different parameters. One system.
The French Fry Processor
Target specific length/width ratios to maximize contract fulfillment. Root Vision identifies potatoes that meet the exact dimensional criteria your processing partners require.
Seed Potatoes
Identify heavy concentrations of small tubers ideal for replanting. Automated sorting data enables precision seed stock management at scale.
Fresh Carrots
Real-time defect and size grading on the harvester. Root Vision distinguishes clean carrots from dirt clumps, broken pieces, and off-spec roots to maximize yield at harvest.
Sugar Beet
Grade beets by size and condition for optimal sugar extraction. Automated detection identifies damaged or undersized roots before they reach the factory, reducing waste and improving sugar yield.
Built for the toughest environments.
Operating in dust, rain, and extreme temperatures across European and North American farms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for growers and processors.
- What is Root Vision?
- Root Vision is an edge-computing computer vision platform that provides real-time size distribution analytics for potato and sugar beet harvesters. It uses hardware-accelerated AI directly on the harvester to grade crops by size, then syncs data seamlessly to the cloud.
- How does Root Vision work?
- Ruggedized sensors mount on harvester conveyors and capture video. On-device AI runs a segmentation model in real-time (< 50ms latency). Size distribution data is transmitted via 4G/5G LTE to your farm management system. No operator intervention is required.
- What crops does Root Vision support?
- Root Vision supports potatoes and sugar beets today, with use cases for French fry processing (length/width ratios), seed potatoes (28–45mm), carrots (defect and size grading), and sugar beets (80–120mm grade for extraction).
- What harvesters does Root Vision work with?
- Root Vision integrates with self-propelled and tractor-pulled harvesters from leading manufacturers. The software runs on any suitable camera, including Android devices, delivering real-time analytics regardless of equipment type.
- How accurate is Root Vision?
- Root Vision achieves 99.2% detection accuracy with sub-50ms edge latency. Accuracy varies by use case: seed potatoes 99.1%, French fry processors +12% yield gain, carrots 98.2% defect detection, sugar beets 97.8%.
