Seed production monitoring

Leverage Alteia's AI techniques to deploy more thoughtful crop management or seed production strategies that allow you to understand the health of your crops, assess your production and optimize crop inputs to minimize costs and meet sustainability goals.

With the Alteia Precision Agriculture application, you can store and analyze your crop data, coming from aerial drones, ground cameras, smartphones, satellites or Lidar.

The application enables the visualization and the computation of images and orthophotos, the processing of AI driven analytics in order to assess the evolution of your crops, and drive data-driven agronomic decisions in crucial parts of your business by easily computing metrics like vegetation indexes, weed detection, or generating prescription maps.

With Alteia’s Precision Agriculture application, you can transform the way you make agronomic decisions. Start by evaluating the efficiency of your inputs or farming practices, for example, quantifying crop response to a particular input or assessing the seeding quality based on the number of plants and vigor results.

Additionally, you can deploy a fully automated end-to-end precision Ag solution and integrate it with external applications like MyJohnDeere. This allows you to use a feature, such as automatic weed detection, and seamlessly transfer that information to the sprayer terminal.

High-value Workflows

Powerful 2D Visualization

Visually assess how your crop is doing today or over its lifetime thanks to the timeline feature. Assess changes by comparing visually 2D information and leveraging automatic comparison tools. View your entire site with a 2D model that is so realistic that you can use it for virtual walkthroughs. Thanks to the annotation toolbox, sharing and reporting options, remote assessments of crops are made easy.

Automate and accelerate data processing

Simply drag and drop your drone flight data into Alteia, and it will process automatically your images (RGB, thermal, multispectral, hyperspectral) into a 2D map of your worksite within hours. Alteia Precision Agriculture leverages cloud computing and the best photogrammetry engines on the market depending on the desired outputs: Pix4d, Bentley Context Capture, or Agisfot Metashape. The application also includes an intuitive interface for manual or AI-assisted Ground Control Point tagging and image calibration.

Analyze your crop and assess changes

Produce a digital twin of your crop to visualize and track changes, and communicate plans to your team of agronomists. Quickly turn visual data coming from various types of sensors into real-world measurements and actions.

Switch easily between visible, multispectral and thermal range. Unify and compare all your data thanks to our co-registration tools.

Leverage our Grid generation tool to run statistics over time.

Weed management and prescription map enablement

After generating scouting maps and weed maps, you can easily export your files and maps to your Farm Management System such as John Deere Operations Center, by selecting the relevant organization and field. Information that can be exported from Alteia are:

Analysis results in the form of a map layer.
Prescription maps for site specific management, spraying and fertilizer applications.

Weed management and prescription map enablement

Stand count, plant height and yield estimation

This analytic automatically detects and counts plants and gaps. It determines the precise number of plants in a specific area, plant heights, and compares it to the expected results and calculates the percentage under the norm. You can use the Stand Count report to evaluate seed quality (germination rate), decide whether to replant or not, and mark the zones of potential yield losses. By obtaining an early yield estimate from Stand Count analysis, it’s easier to plan future agricultural operations and be proactive in replanting efforts.

FCover Analysis

This workflow enables you to create grids over an area of interest and provide Fraction of Vegetation Cover. F-Cover is the percentage of plant material that covers the soil surface when observed from straight above. As an example, monitoring F-Cover on agricultural fields from the early season onwards presents an indication of the rate of crop development and vigor. Increasing F-Cover signifies the development of leaf area or above-ground biomass.

Benefits

Share data across your organization and outside

Give everyone on your team instant visibility into the status of your crops. Alteia application centralizes your crop documentation and parameters to boost collaboration and also give everyone ways to compare the situation on different crops under different conditions, and fosters collaborative improvement.

Optimize inputs and meet sustainability goals

By leveraging the Alteia application, you’re accessing simulation tools that help understand how you can better manage your crop better and minimize your inputs for the same yield, while reducing the burden of manual tasks like crop sampling.

Save time and scale up

The Alteia Precision Agriculture application automates many parts of the crop management process; from the generation of orthophotos to the computation of various indexes or metrics from visual data, and the automated generation of reports like prescription maps. With the Alteia Precision Agriculture application, it becomes easier to accelerate your data collection strategy globally and become truly data-driven.
