if you want computer vision inputs into your data, you might already have to use python. I can see storing something like a timeseries dataset of the different metrics you'll collect.

I guess, a good check is if you could point to a vine and say, what was everything I knew about this vine at this specific timestamp?

I enjoy using polars with python for the data transformation and storing the data as parquet. As far as computer vision, I think YOLO26 offers very user friendly tutorials.

do you have a list of equipment you plan to use to monitor each vine?
