Reseach & Development
We acquire essential data for conducting research and its analysis thanks to multispectral images and RGB made during flights on fields using the cameras installed on drones.

R&D influence on the company
Within the project subsidized by The National Research and Development Centre that will start off in January 2020, we will research the possibilities of using hyperspectral imaging and artificial neural network to specify the level of cultivation demand for water. This research will be conducted in cooperation with research institutes specialising in artificial intelligence algorithms, potato physiology and also with practices producing about 50 thousand tons of potatoes each year.
The aim of the project is to create the intelligent system enabling precise potato cultivation irrigation basing on the current soil moisture without using in-site data, such as local moisture sensors.
Other activities
Technology
Multispectral camera that calculates vegetation index of cultivated plants. In our company we use this solution to monitor cultivations in proper plants development.
Flights with such cameras are also used to build image sets that are used in the process of algorithm development of artificial intelligence prepared for precision farming needs.
Multispectral imaging allows to collect information about plants vegetation, water distribution and problems with irrigation, as well as agriculture loss and many others.
Hyperspectral platform is based on 6-rotary unmanned aircraft equipped with 150-band hyperspectral camera. This camera enables image registration in high spectral resolution within the range 470 nm to 900 nm and frequency of 65 frames per second. .
The camera uses spectrometer in order to register changing conditions of lighting. It allows to gain the proper radiometric ortophotomaps even in changing lighting conditions during the flight. Such solution significantly improves effectiveness increasing the number of days in a year in which you can make the flight. The equipment is used for advanced analysis of agriculture cultivation and research related to connecting the hyperspectral vision technology and deep neural networksUnmanned platform is equipped with a camera registering images in high resolution, useful in the process of data collection and ortophotomap building (images with geographical references). It allows for further precise location of registered objects.
We further on use collected images to make analysis, prepare vision algorithms or also in the process of training algorithms of artificial intelligence. Among the applications you can list cultivation analysis in terms of weeding, precise pointing of different objects on fields or detecting agriculture losses.Spectrophotometer used in our company allows making measurements with a large spectral resolution (1 nm) and in a wide spectral range (400-2500nm), unavailable for other equipment. It is worth noticing that we have mobile versions of the equipment that enables conducting research outside the laboratory – it is used in agronomic, geological and many other researches.
Using spectrometer allows fast measurements and research of phenomenon not visible for other equipment (observed far beyond visible light range). In our research this equipment is used for example for advanced research on early stage detection of disease in tomato cultivation.QZ Solutions Sp. z o.o.
