  • Patent number: 12245536
    Abstract: An example system may implement automated data modeling and scaling of a soil health data fabric. For example, the example system may be configured to compile data measurements from disparate soil health data sources and integrate the data measurements with baseline soil samples, satellite imagery, or both. According to such an example, the system may train a machine learning algorithm using the integrated data measurements to determine most accurate local soil quality estimates and execute the machine learning algorithm to output soil quality estimate data models based on the data measurements. The example system may also train and refine local soil quality estimate data models to generate a regional soil quality estimate data model. In such an example, the system may scale the local and regional soil quality estimate data models and output soil quality estimates for a target region based on extended satellite imagery.
