Agriculture Yield Prediction

Wheat Yield Prediction

Predicts wheat yield, providing 10m resolution maps and related data over your specified region of interest.

This service has been proven to predict the yield of wheat crops. Given a region of interest and a sowing date, the algorithm is run using Sentinel-2 over the growing season to return the total prediction yield and average prediction yield per hectare for the area. The output is provided as a GeoTIFF showing the predicted yield in kg per pixel. A preview image is also provided along with a CSV file giving the total and average predicted yields per paddock/field.

Predicting Crop Yield

Forecasting wheat production months before harvest

A strong and stable agriculture sector is important at a national level as a source of food, and beneficial as a source of economic gain through exports. Early prediction of harvest yields at national and regional scales is therefore important as an influencer of commodity trading pricies, a means of ensuring adequate food supplies, managing logistics, and as a component of balance of trade. At a smaller scale, accurate estimates of likely yields allow farmers to better manage budgets, plan seed retention versus sales, assist with insurance cover judgements, and crop management decisions through the latter part of the growing season. Crop yield prediction is possible using remote sensing from satellite imagery, and accurate predictions of wheat yield are shown below to be possible months before harvest.

Pollution Monitoring

Measuring Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxide over Urban Areas

With the launch of ESA's Sentinel-5P satellite in 2017, it is now possible to monitor global atmospheric pollution on a daily basis, such as tropospheric concentrations of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, methane, sulphur dioxide, and formaldehyde. Taking advantage of this data, it is possible to produce temporal trends of pollution in cities and industrial areas, which can be used to understand movements of polluted air and possible risks for the population.

Spectral Indices

Indicators Derived from Remote Monitoring

Analysis of imagery of the same place captured at different wavelengths can reveal a lot about the content of the scene being viewed. When comparisons are made of scene content at different wavelengths spectral indices are the most common form of image enhancement and there are indices that support a broad range of applications, from minerals to soil to vegetation.

Platforms & APIs

Robust cloud platforms and API solutions

Being able to extract insight from data is not enough to be useable by customers to solve their problems. Needed alongside clever algorithms is the ability to develop robust, secure and useable solutions which, for example, integrate with customer systems, or provide stand-alone systems which can be used by end users.
