About this technology
Overview
This software developing is designed to estimate crop yields in agricultural regions using Ukraine as a high-impact test case. It is meant to generate yield estimates in a more efficient, accurate, and scalable operation. It aims to streamline an existing data processing pipeline called VERCYE in partnership with NASA Harvest, which currently relies on manual efforts, and turn it into an automated system that integrates various data source. The primary accomplishments will include an operationalized crop yield software that's capable of delivering multiple yield estimates for each of Ukraine's 25 Oblasts during the grow season. Additionally, it will prototype an ML model capable of estimating crop yield from SAR data (a sensing technique which can penetrate cloud cover). The software will enable fast/more yield estimates to aid decisions in food security and agricultural planning.
