CROP YIELD ESTIMATION

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides for crop yield estimation by identifying, via image processing, a field in which a crop is grown; identifying a plurality of regions within the field; identifying, by processing growth metrics via a model, a plurality of data collection points in the plurality of regions, wherein a given data collection point of the plurality of data collection points within a given region of the plurality of regions is identified by multivariate analysis as representative of growing conditions in the given region; receiving in-field data linked to the data collection points of the plurality; and predicting a yield for the crop in the field based on the in-field data.
