# How can a plant nursery or transplant grower use computer vision to check seedling trays?

A camera over a conveyor or a bench takes a top-down photo of each tray. A model trained on the nursery own images counts the cells with a seedling, marks empty cells, doubles and weak or stretched plants, and flags trays with uneven growth or discolored leaves. Each tray result is tagged with the tray or batch label, so the grower can see germination by batch, seed lot and bench, and plan gapping, refilling or resowing early. A grower reviews flagged trays each day and decides what to refill, hold back or ship. The model does not replace plant health checks or customer specs, and people make every planting and shipping call.

## What this means in practice

- Start with one crop and one tray size on one bench or line.
- Label photos from your own trays for empty cells, doubles and weak plants.
- Tag each result with the tray or batch label.
- Review flagged trays each day before gapping or shipping.
- Compare germination by seed lot and bench to plan the next sowing.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
