Deploy GreenThumb IO’s Open-Source Sensor Kit

GreenThumb IO is a cannabis computer vision and AI product. We are open-sourcing our prototypes that we used to develop our platform capable of integrating with any industry standard product and service providers. I have a series of blogs outlining our projects which can be found here on Medium — follow to stay in the loop on new developments!

When I think of senses I think of the classical five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. These human senses provide inputs for us to navigate situations, allowing us to perform actions based on our perceived environment. …

Smart Cameras

Vision is one of our five senses that we use daily to determine when to cross the road or when to water a plant. In May 2018 I wrote an article detailing the Smart Camera developer kits on the market. …

Cannabis Computer Vision, AI, and Harvester Marketplace

GreenThumb IO is dedicated to delivering high tech solutions to the cannabis industry in close collaboration with leading industry partners.

Today: Plant Health & Growth Data Using AI

In the GreenThumb product today, smart cameras monitor cannabis growth to provide real-time data, which is analyzed with our machine learning algorithms to determine plant health, tracking the performance indicators of Leaf Area and Bud Area:

In the video above we have graphed 720 minutes at 20 FPS, visualizing a decay in the KPIs of Leaf Area Index and Bud Area Index. Based on this analysis, a grower would be alerted of the deficiency and offered a recommended action such as watering or fertilizing the plants, which can be triggered remotely. …

Tokenized Items With ERC-1155

Colloquially referred to as the gaming token, there is more to the new ERC-1155 token standard than meets the eye.

The below article was our first introduction to ERC-1155. It was written by the author of EIP#1155 (The Ethereum Improvement Proposal repository’s Issue #1155) and CTO of Enjin, Witek Radomski.

When you read the article you will see that game theory and the trading of in-game resources are the driving force behind the design concepts of this new standard. …

Cultivating Trust

GreenThumb IO Private Blockchain

BitTorrent brought us decentralized P2P file sharing. There are loads of peer to peer messaging platforms. BitCoin brought us P2P money transfers, replacing banks with decentralized ledgers verified by the consensus. Ethereum builds on top of this trust network to give us digitally enforceable agreements. This has enabled developers to build Decentralized Applications, or Dapps, that rely on Ethereum’s Smart Contracts as a means of decentralized logic and storage for their Apps. GreenThumb IO takes that a bit future to offer with permission based private Decentralized Artificial Intelligence Platform. Not DAIP, but maybe Smart Dapp?

GreenThumb IO will add a layer of privacy and security required for IoT blockchain solutions. Our Crypto Smart Cameras are designed to support Smart Contract execution and TensorFlow model training and inference. Smart Contracts that take input from AI to digitize visual assets into collectable commodities. …

Baby Steps to Tokenized Cannabis

I gleamed my inspiration from PyImageSearch.com yet again. I’m basically counting bright green spots, by combing some of the tricks from the last post on Leaf Area Analysis.

Dependencies

In this docker image I have all of the dependencies for both Leaf Area and Bud Area including working copies and works in progress. We’re going to be using the same setup as with the Leaf Area notebook. OpenCV will be used for preprocessing the image and pixel selection by range. Matplotlib is used from rendering images and graphs. We take advantage of skimage.measure.label for taking measurements and label them. …

Democratizing Data Value

Data has always been the driving force of the economy. In today’s world we see an enormous amount of data generated every moment of everyday. There are giant corporations capitalizing off individual’s actions and patterns, by selling inferred interests to retailer’s trying to hit their target market with directly focused ads. There has been a lot of news coming out of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, commonly referred to by its acronym GDPR. This is only a side note highlighting the importance of data in today’s world and not the topic of the post.
