In California, SLANTRANGE, Inc., released their new 3p multispectral sensor system for agriculture drones. Built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon Flight drone platform, a highly optimized platform for drones and robotics applications, the 3p provides quantitative metrics about the status, health and yield potential of crops immediately after a drone flight.
The 3p allows growers, agronomists, and drone service providers to scale their operations almost anywhere in the world, with no dependence on high-bandwidth network infrastructure or large-scale computing power. The 3p incorporates SLANTRANGE’s patented technique for delivering accurate crop measurements under changing sunlight conditions, a prerequisite for trend analysis and yield forecasting.
“The 3p is the first platform to push aerial imaging analytics directly to the farm, so the value of aerial crop measurement can truly benefit all of the world’s farming acres, not just the small fraction of acres with high-bandwidth network access,” said Michael Ritter, CEO of SLANTRANGE.
