  • Crop stand analysis
    Patent number: 9489576
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving, by a computing device, data for a region of interest that includes growing crops. The received data for the region of interest can include image data for the region of interest. The method further includes identifying, by the computing device based on the received image data, rows of crops within the region of interest. The method further includes determining, by the computing device based on the received data for the region of interest associated with portions of the region of interest included in the identified rows of crops and excluding portions of the region of interest outside the identified rows of crops, a stand status of the growing crops within the region of interest. The stand status includes a quantity status corresponding to a population of crops within the region of interest.

  • NITROGEN STATUS DETERMINATION IN GROWING CROPS
    Publication number: 20150254800
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes receiving, by a computing device, image data for a region of interest that includes growing crops, and identifying, by the computing device, one or more portions of the image data that correspond to the growing crops and one or more portions of the image data that correspond to an absence of the growing crops. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, based on the one or more portions of the image data that correspond to the growing crops and excluding the one or more portions of the image data that correspond to the absence of the growing crops, a nitrogen stress status of the growing crops within the region of interest.
