Patent number: 11191227Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method that integrate vineyard sensor data into an environment that enables analysis, historical trend analytics, spatio-temporal analytics, and weather model fusion for improved decision making from vineyard management to wine production. The integration of new sensor data from multiple soil depths with surface measurements, combined with production flow process and historical information enables new decision making capabilities. A wireless network of sensor/transmitters can be distributed to provide a 3-dimensional assessment of water movement both across the grower's field and as it moves from the surface through the root zone. The soil monitoring data stream feeds into a visualization interface that will be incorporated in software based decision aid and crop management tool that helps agricultural producers reduce costs, minimize water and nutrient applications, and better protect the environment by reducing agricultural production inputs.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David Scott Ebert, Christian E. Butzke, Susan Ebert

Publication number: 20200242523Abstract: Disclosed herein is a visual analytics system and method that provides a proactive and predictive environment in order to assist decision makers in making effective resource allocation and deployment decisions. The challenges involved with such predictive analytics processes include end-users' understanding, and the application of the underlying statistical algorithms at the right spatiotemporal granularity levels so that good prediction estimates can be established. In the disclosed approach, a suite of natural scale templates and methods are provided allowing users to focus and drill down to appropriate geospatial and temporal resolution levels. The disclosed forecasting technique is based on the Seasonal Trend decomposition based on Loess (STL) method applied in a spatiotemporal visual analytics context to provide analysts with predicted levels of future activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: Purdue Research FoundationInventors: David Scott Ebert, Abish Malik, Sherry Towers, Ross Maciejewski

Patent number: 8605952Abstract: The present system and method provides a more precise way to record food and beverage intake than traditional methods. The present disclosure provides custom software for use in mobile computing devices that include a digital camera. Photos captured by mobile digital devices are analyzed with image processing and comparisons to certain databases to allow a user to discretely record foods eaten. Specifically, the user captures images of the meal or snack before and after eating. The foods pictured are identified. Image processing software may identify the food or provide choices for the user. Once a food is identified and volume of the food is estimated, nutrient databases are used for calculating final portion sizes and nutrient totals.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Carol Boushey, Edward John Delp, David Scott Ebert, Kyle DelMar Lutes, Deborah Kerr
