Automated farm boundary detection using neural networks
Automated farm boundary detection using neural networks Imagine the endless possibilities if we have satellite imagery across the globe and could detect farm boundaries. The plot size data is not readily available, and acquiring it is often difficult in many countries. This data is of great interest. GISKernel’s automated farm boundary detection platform provides a […]
Revolutionizing regenerative agriculture with geospatial technology
Revolutionizing regenerative agriculture with geospatial technology Complex challenges of modern agriculture include climate change impacts, soil degradation, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, excessive chemical use, and unsustainable practices. Agriculture is a dominant contributor to water stress, and nearly 91% of our freshwater is used for agriculture (FAO, 2016). In 2018 agriculture and related landuse contributed to […]
The Curious case of querying large raster datasets on the fly via an internet facing portal.
Geospatial data is quite different from any other data you can work with it being difficult to understand and manipulate, one of our clients came up with a unique request to work with raster datasets and find a particular value of a pixel and statistical information on the fly which was also understandable to a no GIS user.
How GIS can help the agriculture industry
The agriculture industry is the backbone of any country. Without a well-developed and thriving farming industry, it will be difficult for a country to grow and prosper. However, in recent years, agriculture production is fighting against all odds to survive. Plagued by floods, droughts, poor farming techniques, and knowledge and being affected by swarms of insects, the agricultural community seems to be losing its edge.
