A platform to enable large scale mapping with drones. We use AI/ML and legacy geospatial approaches to streamline the process from data sorting of images, reconstruction into maps, and extracting geospatial analytics from it. We believe that the map is just the raw material, we empower decision makers with robust geospatial insights.

Mapping with a Purpose

Problem: a dearth of localised geospatial data

Comparison with Satellite Map

Solution: Drone-based Mapping and analytics

Requirement: Faster, Cheaper, easy to share, easy to interpret localised geospatial information that supports repeated mapping and monitoring

10x resolution > satellites
50% time     > status quo
20% cost      > status quo
Accessible  > LIDAR

What you learn?

Field Intelligence: Spot problem areas with NDVI, VARI, and other indices.

Plant Count: Determine stand count

Plant Health Monitor: Diagnose, assess, prevent, and correct the overall status quo and damage to the crops throughout the cropping season. We detect and prevent plant stress and damage from biotic and abiotic factors.

Field Management: Intuitive tools and layers to monitor crops.
