Smart Surveillance System for Tomato Disease Detection and Fruit Counting

This is like putting a smart security camera in a tomato greenhouse that doesn’t watch for thieves, but constantly watches plants for early signs of disease and automatically counts how many tomatoes are growing.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional crop scouting is slow, manual, and often misses disease outbreaks until it’s too late; yield estimates are also rough and labor-intensive. This system automates high-speed disease detection and fruit counting so growers can react earlier, reduce losses, and plan harvests more accurately.

Value Drivers

Reduced crop loss from earlier disease detectionLower labor costs for manual scouting and countingMore accurate yield forecasting and harvest planningBetter use of pesticides and inputs (targeted treatment)Higher overall greenhouse productivity

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific computer-vision models, labeled plant/disease imagery, and integration into greenhouse monitoring workflows create a data and workflow moat that is hard to replicate quickly.

Differentiation Factor

Focuses on high-speed, continuous surveillance specifically for tomato crops, combining both disease detection and automated fruit counting in one integrated system rather than separate tools.
