  • AGRICULTURAL MODELING SYSTEM WITH DATA FUSION AND RELATED SERVER COMPUTING RESOURCE AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20240096015
    Abstract: An agricultural modeling system may include a scanning platform configured to generate 3D point cloud data of an agricultural geographic area, a geospatial database configured to store a data layer for the agricultural geographic area, and a computing resource in communication with the scanning platform, client devices, and the geospatial database. The computing resource may be configured to geographically reference the data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area, and generate a multi-layered data model for the geographically referenced data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area. A client device may be configured to selectively render the multi-layered data model.
    Type: Application

  • Agricultural modeling system with data fusion and related server computing resource and methods
    Patent number: 11880938
    Abstract: An agricultural modeling system may include a mobile ranging platform configured to generate 3D point cloud data of an agricultural geographic area, client devices, a geospatial database configured to store a data layer for the agricultural geographic area, and a server computing resource in communication with the mobile ranging platform, the client devices, and the geospatial database. The server computing resource may be configured to geographically reference the data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area, and generate a multi-layered data model for the geographically referenced data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area. A client device may be configured to selectively render the multi-layered data model.

  • Agricultural modeling system with data fusion and related server computing resource and methods
    Patent number: 11468632
    Abstract: An agricultural modeling system may include a mobile LiDAR platform configured to generate 3D point cloud data of an agricultural geographic area, client devices, a geospatial database configured to store a data layer for the agricultural geographic area, and a server computing resource in communication with the mobile LiDAR platform, the client devices, and the geospatial database. The server computing resource may be configured to geographically reference the data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area, and generate a multi-layered data model for the geographically referenced data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area for providing interactive analysis and visualization of agricultural information alongside collaborators with LiDAR-based high resolution 3D plant model. A client device may be configured to selectively render the multi-layered data model.
