Methodology

Yield Prediction Methodology

We use two primary analytical pathways to ensure high-accuracy results, up to 85% at the county level.

Machine Learning (Historical-Based)

Trained on historical yield statistics for your area of interest from open sources. Predicts current-season yields by matching historical trends against present conditions.

Biophysical Prediction (Phenological-Based)

Relies on physical crop parameters like variety, growth stage and water demand. Predicts yield for a specific date without historical data, and can be repeated throughout the season to track changing conditions.

Coverage & Data

Prediction Levels & Data Inputs

Yield results are delivered at two distinct granularities to match your project goals.

Field Level

Detailed results per field, for precise production estimation.

Regional Level

Aggregated results per administrative unit, such as province, state, district or region.

Core Data Inputs

Satellite Imagery

Multi-temporal high-resolution imagery from a constellation of 130+ satellites.

Phenology Data

Information on crop growth stages and water demand.

Weather Data

Integrated real-time monitoring and early warning systems.

Soil Maps

Insights into soil health, fertility and moisture levels.

Open-Source Yield Statistics

Baseline data used to train AI models for your specific region.

Technical Specifications

Sensors & Bands for Yield Prediction

Effective yield prediction requires data beyond the visible spectrum, to assess plant vigor and stress.

Key Satellites for Yield

SuperView-2 GFDM satellite, 40cm resolution 0.4m Resolution

SuperView-2 (GFDM)

A 1+8 band configuration, including the critical Red Edge and Yellow bands for crop stress detection.

GF-6 satellite for precision agriculture 2.0m Resolution

GF-6

Optimized for precision agriculture, with a Red Edge band for regional monitoring.

CBERS-04 satellite infrared multispectral scanner Varies

CBERS-04

Features an infrared multispectral scanner, ideal for water resource surveys and yield estimation.

Critical Spectral Bands

Red Edge (690–770nm)

Highly sensitive to chlorophyll and leaf structure, essential for detecting nutrient stress before it is visible.

Near-Infrared (NIR)

Used to calculate NDVI, measuring general plant health and biomass.

SAR (Radar)

Enables constant monitoring through clouds, smoke and darkness, vital for data continuity in rainy regions.

Why It Matters

Key Benefits

Strategic Planning

Use field performance data to build variable rate seeding plans and optimize fertilizer usage.

Risk Mitigation

Early detection of drought stress, pests and diseases, with over 90% accuracy, allows for timely intervention.

Supply Chain Optimization

Accurate harvest forecasts assist in logistics and market planning.

Sustainability

Precise soil moisture monitoring prevents overwatering and ensures efficient irrigation.
