  • Patent number: 11145008
    Abstract: A device includes an image data receiving component, a vegetation index generation component, a crop data receiving component, a masking component and a multivariate regression component. The image data receiving component receives image data of a geographic region. The vegetation index generation component generates an array of vegetation indices based on the received image data, and includes a plurality of vegetation index generating components, each operable to generate a respective individual vegetation index based on the received image data. The crop data receiving component receives crop data associated with the geographic region. The masking component generates a masked vegetation index based on the array of vegetation indices and the received crop data. The multivariate regression component generates a crop parameter based on the masked vegetation index.

  • Patent number: 9552638
    Abstract: A device includes an image data receiving component, a vegetation index generation component, a spatial structure variance generation component, a classification component and a water budget component. The image data receiving component receives multiband image data of a geographic region. The vegetation index generation component generates a vegetation index based on the received multiband image data. The spatial structure variance generation component generates a spatial structure variance image band based on the received multiband image data. The classification component generates a land cover classification based on the received multiband image data, the vegetation index and the spatial structure variance image band. The water budget component generates a water budget of a portion of the geographic region based on the land cover classification.

  • Patent number: 9418290
    Abstract: A device includes an image data receiving component, a vegetation index generation component, a GLC matrix component, a plurality of classifying components and a voting component. The image data receiving component receives multiband image data of a geographic region. The vegetation index generation component generates a normalized difference vegetation index based on the received multiband image data. The GLC matrix component generates a grey level co-occurrence matrix image band based on the received multiband image data. The classifying components generate land cover classifications based on the received multiband image data, the normalized difference vegetation index and the grey level co-occurrence matrix image band. The voting component generates a final land cover classification based a majority vote of the land cover classifications.

  • Patent number: 8686721
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for mapping magnetic activity for a current linking a planet's space environment to an ionosphere of the planet are disclosed. Magnetic field measurements of the current are obtained from a plurality of satellites orbiting the planet. A residual magnetic field is determined from the obtained magnetic field measurements. The determined residual magnetic field is arranged to create a time series for a selected location of a planet-centered coordinate system. The magnetic activity is mapped using the created time series for the selected location.
