Abstract

An aerial analysis system including an image gathering unit that gathers images of a field, an image analysis unit that analyzes images gathered by the image gathering unit, an information display unit that visualizes images identified in the gathered images, an information gathering unit that gathers information related to each gathered image, and a rule unit that generates a digital twin of the field based on the analyzed images and gathered information.

Claims (30)

1 . An aerial analysis system including:

an image gathering unit that gathers images of a field;

an image analysis unit that analyzes images gathered by the image gathering unit;

an information display unit that visualizes images identified in the gathered images;

an information gathering unit that gathers information related to each gathered image;

a rule unit that generates a digital twin of the field based on the analyzed images and gathered information.

2 . The aerial analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the information gathering unit gathers information on crops grown in the field.

3 . The aerial analysis system of claim 2 , wherein the information on crops includes soil information.

4 . The aerial analysis system of claim 2 , wherein the rule unit relates information from the gathered information to gathered images by applying at least one rule to each image.

5 . The aerial analysis system of claim 4 , wherein the rules applied by the rule unit are specific to each individual field.

6 . The aerial analysis system of claim 4 , wherein the rules applied by the rule unit are specific to a similar field.

7 . The aerial analysis system of claim 4 , wherein the information display unit modifies the image based on the rules applied.

8 . The aerial analysis system of claim 4 , wherein the image analysis unit modifies the image of the field by adjusting at least one piece of information related to the image.

9 . The aerial analysis system of claim 1 , wherein the image analysis unit determines the type of crop grown in the field.

10 . The aerial analysis system of claim 9 , wherein the image analysis unit determines the rows of crops from the image of the field.

11 . A method of generating a digital twin of a field, the method including:

gathering images of a field using an image gathering unit;

analyzing the images of the field using an image analysis unit;

visualizing the analyzed images using an information display unit;

gathering information related to each image using an information gathering unit;

generating a digital twin of the field based on the analyzed images and gathered information.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the information gathering unit gathers information on crops grown in the field.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the information on crops includes soil information.

14 . The method of claim 12 , including the step of relating information from the gathered information to gathered images by applying at least one rule to each image.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the rules applied by the rule unit are specific to each individual field.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the rules applied by the rule unit are specific to a similar field.

17 . The method of claim 14 , including the step of modifying the image based on the rules applied.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the image analysis unit modifies the image of the field by adjusting at least one piece of information related to the image.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the image analysis unit determines the type of crop grown in the field.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the image analysis unit determines the rows of crops from the image of the field.
