  • Patent number: 11978250
    Abstract: In an approach for determining the date of planting of a crop growing in an agricultural field, a processor receives an aerial image of one or more agricultural fields in a pre-determined geographical region. A processor selects a plurality of points from the aerial image. A processor calculates a Vegetation Index of one or more crops growing at the plurality of points selected. A processor compares the Vegetation Index calculated for the one or more crops growing at the plurality of points selected to the Vegetation Index known for a plurality of historical reference signatures. A processor generates an actual signature. A processor cross-correlates the actual signature against the plurality of historical reference signatures to measure a degree of similarity. A processor identifies the one or more crops growing in the one or more agricultural fields in the pre-determined geographical region from the cross-correlation.

  • Patent number: 11941364
    Abstract: In an approach for routing a user analytic request to a registry of analytics models and data sources and operationalizing the user analytic request, a processor receives a user analytic request. A processor applies natural language processing to the user analytic request. A processor associates a first set of vectors and a second set of vectors from the user analytic request to one or more analytics models and data sources by utilizing a plurality of domain-specific ontologies and a plurality of knowledge bases. A processor performs a semantic search for one or more concepts in the one or more analytics models and data sources. A processor receives the one or more concepts found in the one or more analytics models and data sources. A processor selects an analytics model to process the user analytic request. A processor executes the analytics model. A processor outputs a result to the user.

  • Patent number: 11823448
    Abstract: In an approach for identifying a crop using satellite observation data and crop rotation data, a processor receives an aerial image of one or more agricultural fields in a pre-determined geographical region from an optical satellite. A processor selects a plurality of points from the aerial image. A processor clips the aerial image into one or more smaller images to generate one or more observed signatures. A processor determines there is a change in a spatial distribution of one or more crops. A processor generates an actual signature from the one or more observed signatures. A processor cross-correlates the actual signature against a plurality of historical reference signatures to determine a degree of similarity. A processor ranks one or more results of the cross-correlation. A processor identifies the one or more crops. A processor calculates a first estimate of an amount of the one or more crops.
