Reagan Noland has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • INTEGRATED REMOTE SENSING TOOLS FOR TIMELY PREDICTIONS OF CROP QUALITY AND YIELD
    Publication number: 20220012300
    Abstract: A method includes receiving outside temperatures for a plurality of days and calculating growing degree units based on the received temperatures. Intensities for a plurality of wavelengths of light measured over at least one portion of a field containing a crop are received and are used with the growing degree units to predict a quality value for the crop. The predicted quality value for the crop is then displayed.
    Type: Application
