In the era of digitalization in agriculture, one of the most effective ways to increase yield and optimize resource allocation is by using tools powered by artificial intelligence. These tools enable crop monitoring, efficient operation planning, and yield forecasting. 

Agri-monitoring enables: 

  • Visual inspection of orchards or fields; 
  • Plant counting and condition assessment; 
  • Field measurement and farm passportization; 
  • Creation of crop development maps based on vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE); 
  • Development of variable-rate application maps. 

The Pix4Dfields software is the ideal solution for implementing precision farming technologies, data collection, analysis, and conversion into prescription maps. 

 

An especially important feature before the winter period is the tool for counting crops and detecting weeds. 

Using artificial intelligence, Pix4Dfields can quickly identify each crop plant and individual weeds. The number of plants per unit area is one of the key factors in determining yield. Plant counting is used to assess the quality of sowing operations, seed germination, readiness for winter, overwintering condition, and yield forecasting. 

Plant counting is conducted via low-altitude aerial scanning and the creation of ultra-high-resolution maps. Computer-based classification and image recognition methods identify and count every plant in the surveyed area. 

The use of UAVs for data collection and its processing in Pix4Dfields enables pinpoint identification of problematic trees, their exact coordinates, and the execution of required operations at a local level, minimizing resource expenditure. 

Additionally, Pix4Dfields allows you to: 

  • Generate indices to assess plant health and stress levels; 
  • Divide fields into zones based on plant development and create prescription maps for variable-rate fertilizer and pesticide application; 
  • Develop task maps for localized and targeted application of treatments using self-propelled machinery and spray drones.
