  • Patent number: 11796970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing a spatial statistical model to maximize efficacy in performing trials on agronomic fields are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a system receives first yield data for a first portion of an agronomic field, the first portion of the agronomic field having received a first treatment, and second yield data, for a second portion of the agronomic field, the second portion of the agronomic field having received a second treatment that is different than the first treatment. The system uses a spatial statistical model and the first yield data to compute a yield value for the second portion of the agronomic field, the yield value indicating an agronomic yield for the second portion of the agronomic field if the second portion of the agronomic field had received the first treatment instead of the second treatment. Based on the computed yield value and the second yield data, the system selects the second treatment.

  • Patent number: 11574465
    Abstract: In an embodiment, digital images of agricultural fields are received at an agricultural intelligence processing system. Each digital image includes a set of pixels having pixel values, and each pixel value of a pixel includes a plurality of spectral band intensity values. Each spectral band intensity value describes a spectral band intensity of one band among several bands of electromagnetic radiation. For each of the agricultural fields, spectral band intensity values of each band are preprocessed at a field level using the digital images for that agricultural field resulting in preprocessed intensity values. The preprocessed intensity values are provided as input to a machine learning model. The model generates a predicted yield value for each field. The predicted yield value is used to update field yield maps of agricultural fields for forecasting and can be displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a client computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220383428
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use in identifying a set of candidate seeds for a target field based on a prediction model are provided. One example method includes accessing, by a computing device, data from a data server, the data including data representative of seeds harvested from at least one of a research growing space, a development growing space, and a field growing space; generating a yield delta prediction model, based on at least a portion of the accessed data; for each of a plurality of candidate seeds, automatically generating a probability of a yield delta for the candidate seed, relative to a target seed, exceeding a performance threshold, based on the generated model; identifying, by the computing device, a set of the candidate seeds, based on the probability of the respective candidate seed satisfying a defined threshold; and outputting, by the computing device, the identified set of seeds to a user.

  • Publication number: 20220301080
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to agronomic modeling, and more specifically to determining uncertainty associated with agronomic predictions (e.g., agricultural yield of a field). An exemplary method comprises: receiving information associated with a location; providing the information to one or more trained machine-learning models; determining, based on the trained machine-learning models: a probabilistic distribution of the predicted crop yield of the location, wherein the probabilistic distribution is defined by a plurality of parameters; and an uncertainty measure associated with a moment of the probabilistic distribution of the predicted crop yield.

  • Patent number: 10043239
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation of images of a particular type from images of a different type are disclosed. In an embodiment, an agricultural intelligence computer system receives a first plurality of images of a first type and a second plurality of images of a second type. The first and second types may refer to variances in resolution, frequency ranges of frequency bands, and/or types of frequency bands used to generate the images.
