Spraying or Crop Protection

Spraying has a checklist attached to it: suit, gloves, respirator, mixing in the right order, calibrating the nozzle, checking wind. The actual walk through the crop is the easy part. What makes this hard to automate is the setup and the constant small adjustments, like turning a boom off at a row end or stopping because a gust came up.

The work ranges from a backpack sprayer in a vegetable plot to a tractor-mounted boom in a cereal field. Workers measure concentrate into a tank, add water, agitate, prime, test the pattern on bare ground, then spray in overlapping passes. Afterward they triple-rinse containers, flush lines, and log the application.

A head camera records the worker's view of the measuring jug, the nozzle, and the crop. Fixed cameras cover the mixing station and the field edge. Both are synchronized. We collect across complete shifts on operating farms in five countries, with consented and paid workers, and the data is cleared for commercial model training.

The dataset arrives as episodes such as mixing a tank or spraying one block, with steps labeled in plain language and tagged for success or failure. Hand, container, and tool tracking is optional. Delivery goes into your own storage in your own schema.
