Abstract: A system and method for crop health change monitoring uses first and second crop images, before and after an event (e.g. severe weather) to detect impact of the event. Using differences in vegetation index values between the images, a vegetation index difference image is calculated. A structural similarity index measurement calculation quantifies differences between the images. Using a change layer comprising magnitude values representing a magnitude of change between the images by adding absolute difference values derived from the vegetation index difference image and boost values derived from the structural similarity index measurement, a hybrid crop health change image is generated that is indicative of crop health change by converting the magnitude values of the change layer into positive change values and negative change values according to corresponding ones of the difference values of the vegetation index difference image being positive or negative.

Abstract: A system and method detect a change within an agricultural field during a growing season. The system and method involve the computation of correlation coefficients between pairs of images in a time series of images over an area, for example an agricultural field. Through comparisons of correlation coefficients over time, sudden field changes can be detected. When these field changes meet specified criteria (such as a minimum value threshold), a notification (alert) can be sent to an agricultural grower, informing them of the change in crop condition, and allowing them to view the changes in the field.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for providing electrical insulation for local interconnect in a logic circuit. A system and method according to the present invention for providing electrical installation for local interconnects during manufacturing of a logic circuit comprising the steps of providing a first layer of material over a semiconductor wafer and providing a second layer of material over the first layer. Additionally, a photoresist material is provided over a portion of the logic circuit to be electrically insulated. Portions of the first and second layers which are unprotected by the photoresist material are then etched. At least a third layer is then provided over the first and second layers, and the third layer is etched such that the first layer as an electrical insulation over the portion of the logic circuit.
