Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media that allow a user to easily generate survey mission plans for one or more UAVs and to capture high quality survey images, including those in the near infra-red, and stitch them into an orthomosaic having reduced geometric distortion. The generation of such orthomosaics allows the systems and methods disclosed herein to be particularly useful in applications where separation from the background of high reflective near infrared surfaces is important, such as identifying plants on soil and generating vegetation indices for precision agriculture applications.

Abstract: An innovative modular indoor growing system uses a holistic approach that includes an heirloom/ancestral seed collection sourced from global seed banks, an in-home easy-to-use production system, passport-style information for people to explore or experience the global seed diversity of a crop, onboard sensors and cameras for real-time monitoring of the crop, virtual assistance facilitating the selection, development, and creation of new varieties, and a crowd sourced data collection network that relies on artificial intelligence to build a state-of-the-art knowledge base for product optimization and consumer intelligence.
