The investigation and development of space-based food production systems are essential to improve the reliability and availability of fresh sustenance for astronauts. With their compact size and low-cost production, CubeSats can provide a unique platform for plant-based in-space experiments. Additionally, the combination of CubeSats and computer vision can allow for monitoring the health of plants during their growth cycles. This paper investigates the electronics and data handling of a crop growth module, otherwise referred to as an environmental monitoring and control subsystem (EMCS), as well as the integration of computer vision techniques for plant growth and development. Using the Otsu thresholding and holistically-nested edge detection algorithms, image segmentation and edge detection were performed, respectively. A support vector machine (SVM) was also employed to classify foliage and provide feedback on the plant’s health. The results from the system show that the computer vision approach can accurately predict the health of the plants based on color and texture. This study builds a foundation for future plant health monitoring research in deep space environments.

Control barrier functions (CBFs) have been widely used for synthesizing controllers in safety-critical applications. When used as a safety filter, a CBF provides a simple and computationally efficient way to obtain safe controls from a possibly unsafe performance controller. Despite its conceptual simplicity, constructing a valid CBF is well known to be challenging, especially for high-relative degree systems under nonconvex constraints. Recently, work has been done to learn a valid CBF from data based on a handcrafted CBF (HCBF). Even though the HCBF gives a good initialization point, it still requires a large amount of data to train the CBF network. In this work, we propose a new method to learn more efficiently from the collected data through a novel prioritized data sampling strategy. A priority score is computed from the loss value of each data point. Then, a probability distribution based on the priority score of the data points is used to sample data and update the learned CBF. Using our proposed approach, we can learn a valid CBF that recovers a larger portion of the true safe set using a smaller amount of data. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated in simulation on a two-link arm.
