ExactFarming


Description

Our key solutions include land productivity assessment, agrochemical soil analysis support and VR fertilizer application prescription maps ensuring wise land treatment and soil fertility preservation, as well as satellite monitoring of vegetation making crop production informed and resilient. The proprietary developments of ExactFarming are a unique guide on pests and diseases and a unique algorithm of field agrophytocenosis development anomalies foci detection empowering farmers to grow and treat crops knowledgeably and sustainably. Particular use cases and the results of our pilot projects prove the fact our solutions allow farmers to get higher yields and save money.

Our solutions are based on the processing of Big Data within the framework of the proprietary platform for their storage and analysis. We work with such technologies as machine learning, computer vision and neuronets. ExactFarming collects data from different sources: field sensors, weather stations, satellites, UAV — and simultaneously acts as a data source itself using the accumulated and adapted system information. The system of detection includes operations of a raster image transformation to a 2-dimensional array of objects, erosion of the array with the consequential clusterization and filtration of the objects, useful features extraction by way of the marker image generation and the identification of spatial coordinates of the results obtained. The results obtained are downloaded in a .geojson file and can be used as a route for scouters.

WSIS values promotion

The usage and deployment of ICTs should seek to create benefits in all aspects of our daily life. ICT applications are potentially important in government operations and services, health care and health information, education and training, employment, job creation, business, agriculture, transport, protection of environment and management of natural resources, disaster prevention, and culture, and to promote eradication of poverty and other agreed development goals. ICTs should also contribute to sustainable production and consumption patterns and reduce traditional barriers, providing an opportunity for all to access local and global markets in a more equitable manner. Applications should be user-friendly, accessible to all, affordable, adapted to local needs in languages and cultures, and support sustainable development. To this effect, local authorities should play a major role in the provision of ICT services for the benefit of their populations.
