Unparalleled remote sensing accuracy
Refine your algorithms with precision
Get optimal crop remote sensing accuracy
Dive into the behaviours of 15 million farmers in 102 countries through AI interpretation of 100 million photographs taken by farmers, verified by the farmers themselves and all images time-stamped, with GPS coordinates, and updated daily.
Boost insights with real-time, unique data capture
We have 21 million opportunities to capture GPS-located, time-stamped answers for ground-truthing. Refine algorithms that attempt to estimate farm behaviours, from tillage to harvest dates.
Greater efficiency and productivity
Our API allows you to automate access to the very latest updates, streamlining your processes to ensure quicker processing times and, in turn, optimised workflows for increased productivity.
Ground-truthing solutions for the remote sensing and earth observation industries
Plantix app captures data seamlessly through crop photography, then deploys AI and verifies the crop with the farmer. A crop health check completes the cycle.
Over the last six years, farmers have taken over 100 million photos using the app, helping us establish a comprehensive database.
Each image can be precisely geo-located together with the date and time.
1,000 data points is commonly cited as the minimum required for ML models. On average, our data includes over 50,000 images per country, focusing on specific crop combinations.
By asking questions at the moment a photograph is taken we ensure all answers are time-stamped together with GPS coordinates and updated daily.
We have 21 million opportunities within the year to capture answers to the questions we pose.
Our API provides automated access to ground-truthing answers to refine remote sensing algorithms. Ask Plantix farmer about: · Cover crop presence · Cover crop seed mix · Sowing date · Latest irrigation date · Irrigation method · Latest fertilizing date · Use of organic fertiliser · Tillage type etc.
We link questions directly to diagnoses, discouraging poorly considered answers. We are able ask the same question twice to see if the farmer varies their answer. Additionally, we conduct back-checks and audits to uncover patterns of errors.
