Abstract: Assessing an insurance situation of a field by obtaining crop insurance policies related to a specific crop field, collecting at least one time-based image of the specific crop field, extracting time-based environmental features from the time-based image, and assessing an occurrence of an insurance event in the specific crop field by matching the extracted features to conditions included in the insurance policies related to the specific crop field.

Abstract: An agricultural monitoring system, apparatus and method(s) for providing crop-related forecasts by performing the steps of receiving seasonal image data from at least one source, where the seasonal image data is associated with at least one agricultural field, processing the seasonal image data using a Bayesian framework, where the Bayesian framework comprises one or more crop models configured to predict, based on the seasonal image data, one or more probabilities indicative of at least one crop state, updating at least one crop model of the Bayesian framework based on the one or more probabilities, and outputting a forecast of the at least one crop state based on the one or more probabilities.
