After the Hectre team surveyed NZ growers for market need and interest, many months of image capture and detection development followed in order to train Spectre to recognise apples accurately. Harnessing computer vision and machine learning technology, plus buckets of passion, the creation of the Spectre prototype came next.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A flight across the Pacific Ocean and a mighty road trip saw the team meet with Washington State growers and fruit warehouses as the Spectre prototype was demoed and additional data captured.
