This project aims to reduce the burden of inflorescence trimming by supporting farmers with an AI-assisted smart glass system. Inflorescence trimming is a time-sensitive task that traditionally requires experience and skill to achieve optimal grape quality. With this system, farmers no longer need prior expertise to perform accurate trimming.
The AI system automatically estimates the length of the grape inflorescence using computer vision and displays trimming guidance directly on the smart glass. Visual cues indicate the appropriate trimming position, allowing farmers to cut the flower cluster at the correct location with confidence. By providing real-time, AI-driven instructions, the system ensures consistent trimming quality while reducing labor intensity and training requirements, making it especially suitable for new and young farmers. This system enables inexperienced farmers to perform the task correctly and helps them develop professional skills over time.
