This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,883.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent addressed the limitation of individual probes for detecting moisture levels in vegetation. However, this invention expands the core technology to tackle distinct challenges in various industries, where monitoring and improving vegetative health are crucial. For instance, in aquatic ecosystems, water quality parameters affect aquatic health, while in vertical farming, optimizing crop yields relies on accurate vegetative health mapping.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The novelty of this invention lies in the application of the core technology to entirely new industries, addressing distinct challenges and providing innovative solutions. The inventive step is the integration of sensor arrays, machine learning models, and user interfaces to generate three-dimensional maps of vegetative health in these novel applications.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include using different types of sensors or machine learning models, or integrating additional data sources, such as weather data or soil type information. Variations may also include adapting the system for use in other industries, such as precision agriculture or environmental monitoring.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

This invention has significant commercial potential in various industries, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, urban planning, and sports management. The target market includes companies and organizations involved in these industries, as well as government agencies and research institutions.
