Abstract
Implementations are disclosed for adaptively adjusting various parameters of equipment in unpredictable terrain, such as agricultural fields. In various implementations, edge computing device(s) may obtain a first image captured by vision sensor(s) transported across an agricultural field by a vehicle. The first image may depict plant(s) growing in the agricultural area. The edge computing device(s) may process the first image based on a machine learning model to generate agricultural inference(s) about the plant(s) growing in the agricultural area. The edge computing device(s) may determine a quality metric for the agricultural inference(s). While the vehicle continues to travel across the agricultural field, and based on the quality metric: the edge computing device(s) may trigger one or more hardware adjustments to one or more of the vision sensors, or one or more adjustments in an operation of the vehicle.
