DRONES TO TRACK THE PREDICTING THE DRIVERLESS TRACTORS TO

GROWTH AND HEALTH OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OPTIMISE FARMING
CROPS ON CROPS OPERATIONS

Companies are using computer vision and deep
learning algorithms to analyse data through
technology such as drones, to track the growth
and health of crops.
This could help to find out which crops need
additional water, fertiliser and so on, as the land is
seen from a birds-eye perspective from the
drone.
Machine learning is being used to predict the
impact that environmental conditions can have on
crops by collecting different types of data on the
crops such as; climate conditions, kinds of soil and
potential risks, to predict which kind of seed would
be the best to harvest in those conditions.
This will then increase the number and quality of
crops grown.
Driverless tractors are being introduced into the
agricultural industry.
This could optimise farming operations, provide
safer conditions and provide a less stressful
environment, overall improving the farmers
experience.

KEY WORDS
Computer Vision- The ability to allow computers to see, recognise and process images in the way that humans can through video or image analytics
Deep Learning algorithms- A type of machine learning where algorithms learn from examples using large amounts of data, repetition & tweaking to improve the outcome.
Machine Learning- A type of artificial intelligence that enable systems to learn patterns from data and subsequently improve from experience.
