Multi-spectral Video Monitoring Camera for Diverse Applications

The present inventive concept leverages the core technology of the original multi-purpose video monitoring camera to address diverse industry challenges, including crop health monitoring, animal behavior analysis, food spoilage detection, and air quality monitoring.

The original patent's multi-purpose video monitoring camera, designed for baby monitoring, had limitations in terms of its applicability to other industries. The present inventive concept addresses this limitation by adapting the core technology to tackle pressing problems in various fields, such as detecting temperature anomalies in crops, water stress in plants, abnormal animal behavior, food spoilage, and poor air quality.

The inventive concept comprises a multi-spectral camera, a thermographic camera, and a microprocessor. The thermographic camera is operably coupled to the microprocessor and aligned with the multi-spectral camera to detect temperature anomalies in various applications. The microprocessor analyzes video and thermal data to detect specific patterns indicative of the target problem. For instance, in crop health monitoring, the system detects temperature anomalies to identify stressed or diseased crops. Similarly, in animal behavior analysis, the system detects abnormal behavior patterns through video and thermal data analysis.

The new claims introduce novel applications of the original patent's technology, which were not previously considered. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the core technology to tackle diverse industry challenges, resulting in a new, non-obvious, and valuable inventive concept.

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different types of cameras, such as hyperspectral or infrared cameras, or the integration of additional sensors, like humidity or pressure sensors. Variations of the system could be designed for specific industries, such as agriculture, zoology, or food processing.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including agriculture, animal husbandry, food processing, and environmental monitoring. The system's ability to detect temperature anomalies and analyze video and thermal data makes it an attractive solution for companies seeking to improve crop yields, monitor animal behavior, reduce food waste, and ensure air quality.
