Analyzing growth through AI-powered proximity sensing and image analysisNileBank

Speeding up the development of growth management techniques
with cutting edge phenotyping technology

Using sensor drones, with Nilebank you can conduct wide-ranging observations of farmland quickly and in detail. It's AI analysis of captured images supports a wide range of crop analysis needs, from the growth status of grains and vegetables to disease detection.

Use casesHow you can utilize Nileworks at your farm

Use case 1: Growth analysisEnabling stable production of direct-seeded rice

Nileworks' unique crop phenotyping technology can be applied to direct-seeded rice cultivation.
You can also use proximity sensing and AI to optimize sowing of seedlings, and analyze and improve seedling establishment rates.

  • 1.Uniformity
  • 2.Sowing( Seeds / ㎡ )
  • Germination
  • Growth
  • 3.Seedlings( Seedlings / ㎡ )
  • Division
  • Heading
  • Maturation
  • Harvest( kg / ㎡ )
  • 1Ground levelness and Uniformity

    Analyzing the ground's evenness/uniformity for planting optimisation.

  • 2Sowing count

    Count the number of seeds using image recognition and quantify seeding irregularities. This can then be used to improve seeding methods based on this data.

    Capture images of dispersed seeds in the field.
    Detect and count seeds
    using image recognition
  • 3Seedling Emergence Count

    Count the number of seedlings using image recognition.
    Calculate the distribution of seedling emergence rates within the field based on seeding and emergence counts.

    Capture images of seedlings in the field
    Detect and count seedlings
    using image recognition.

Use case 2: Disease detectionEarly detection of diseases and pests

Detect signs of disease and abnormalities from images using
Nileworks' multispectral camera.

Example A: Detecting signs of disease in grapes
Example B: Detecting signs of disease in potatoes

We offer customized solutions for detecting diseases in various grains, vegetables, and fruit trees.
Our sensing methods and detection software are developed and provided according to your specific needs
