  • Patent number: 11978251
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for determining adoption and impact of regenerative farming practices. Embodiments of these methods, take satellite imagery and weather data as inputs, process those data according to methods of the present invention, and produce outputs which indicate whether a specific farming practice (for example, no-till or cover cropping) was adopted for a particular field or region for a particular season.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220215659
    Abstract: Imputation of remote sensing time series for low-latency agricultural applications is provided. In various embodiments, a first time series of raster data is read. The first time series spans a geographic region and has a first resolution and a first frequency. A second time series of raster data is read. The second time series spans the geographic region and has a second resolution and a second frequency. The second resolution is lower than the first resolution. The second frequency is higher than the first frequency. A mean time series is determined from the first time series of raster data.

  • Publication number: 20220180526
    Abstract: Imagery-based boundary identification for agricultural fields is provided. In various embodiments, a time series of surface reflectance rasters for a geographic region is received. For each of the surface reflectance rasters, at least one index raster is determined, yielding at least one time series of index rasters. The at least one time series of index rasters is divided into a plurality of consecutive time windows. The at least one time series of index rasters is composited within each of the plurality of time windows, yielding a composite index raster for each of the at least one time series of index rasters in each of the plurality of time windows. The composite index rasters are segmented into a plurality of spatially compact regions of the geographic region. A plurality of polygons is generated from the plurality of spatially compact regions, each of the plurality of polygons corresponding to an agricultural field in the geographic region.
