Description

前記目的を達成するため、本発明に係る植物の育成状態判定装置の一態様は、送風機が植物に風を送っている時に撮影部により前記植物を撮影して、送風時画像を取得する画像取得部と、前記画像取得部が取得した前記送風時画像を画像処理することにより、前記植物の育成状態を判定する判定部と、を備える、ことを特徴とする。 To achieve the pre-Symbol purpose, one aspect of the growing state determining apparatus of the plant according to the present invention, by imaging the plant by shadow Taking when feed air blower is sending wind plant, blowing time of image an image acquisition unit for acquiring, by the image acquisition unit to the image processing the blowing time image acquired, before SL and a stamp tough you determine the growing conditions of the plant, characterized in that.

また、前記目的を達成するため、本発明に係る植物の育成状態判定方法の一態様は、送風機により植物に風を送っている時に撮影部により前記植物を撮影して、送風時画像を取得し、取得した前記送風時画像を画像処理することにより、前記植物の育成状態を判定する、ことを含む、ことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the growing state determination method of the plant according to the present invention, by imaging the plant by the imaging unit when it is sending the wind RiShoku product by the feed air blower, when the blower acquire an image, by image processing the blowing time image acquired, before Symbol determines the breeding status of the plant, comprising, characterized in that.

また、前記目的を達成するため、本発明に係るプログラムの一態様は、コンピュータに、送風機により植物に風を送らせている時に撮影部により前記植物を撮影させて、送風時画像を取得させ、取得させた前記送風時画像を画像処理させることにより、前記植物の育成状態を判定させる、ことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the program according to the present invention, the computer, by taking the plant by the photographing unit when it is allowed send wind RiShoku product by the feed air blower, the blower at the time of image to acquire the by Rukoto to image processing the blowing time image with acquired, to determine the development state before Symbol plant, characterized in that.

セルトレイ１１は、育成室１０の床に設置され、セル１、セル２、セル３等の育苗用のセルを複数個並べて保持する。図２に、複数の育苗用のセルの１つであるセル１を上からみた様子を示す。複数のセルのそれぞれは、図２に示すように、一対の葉を広げている状態にある育成対象の植物１５と、水耕栽培により植物１５を栽培するための養液１６とを、その中に含む。 The cell tray 11 is installed on the floor of the growing room 10 and holds a plurality of cells for raising seedlings such as the cell 1, the cell 2, and the cell 3 side by side. FIG. 2 shows a state in which cell 1 which is one of a plurality of seedling cells is seen from above. Each of the plurality of cells, as shown in FIG. 2, the growing interest in the plant 15 in a state in which spread a pair of leaves, and a nutrient solution 16 to grow plants 15 by hydroponics, therein Included.

ここで、送風時画像４２から取得したサイズＳ２と非送風時画像４１から取得したサイズＳ１との差分“Ｓ２−Ｓ１”は、ファン１４から風を送られた際に植物（葉）が動いた領域の大きさに相当する。すなわち、ファン１４から送られた風に煽られて植物（葉）が大きく動けば動くほど、そのセルについて得られる差分“Ｓ２−Ｓ１”は大きくなる。一方で、ファン１４から風を送られたにも係わらず静態している植物があれば、そのセルについては差分“Ｓ２−Ｓ１”は０である。そして、ファン１４から風を送られた際に大きく動く植物は、そうでない植物に比べて、茎が細い等、丈夫に育っていない可能性が高いことが想定される。そのため、差分“Ｓ２−Ｓ１”の大きさは、植物が正常に育成されているか否かを示す指標として用いることができる。 Here, the difference "S2-S1" of the size S2, which was obtained from the air during the image 42 and the size S1, acquired from the non-air blowing time of image 41, the plant (leaf) is moved when the fan 14 is sent to the wind It corresponds to the size of the area. That is, the more the plant (leaves) moved by the wind sent from the fan 14 moves, the greater the difference “S2−S1” obtained for that cell. On the other hand, if there is a plant that is static without straw engaged to sent a wind from the fan 14, for the cell differential "S2-S1" is 0. And it is assumed that the plant which moves greatly when the wind is sent from the fan 14 is not likely to grow up robustly, such as a thin stem, compared to a plant which is not so. Therefore, the magnitude of the difference “S2−S1” can be used as an index indicating whether or not the plant is normally grown.
