Summer has arrived in Auckland today. View from Stanley Bay, across the Waitemata Harbour towards the CBD.

Having fun w/ ChatGPT's data processing:

- 1 shows pts, containing an NDVI value at given (evenly distributed) locations.

- 2 shows the value after being averaged with its nearest 6 points.

The smoothed layer made sense of the underlying data & instantly highlighted trends - in less than a minute

Another exciting success we've had over the past month has been identifying both weeds and gaps in planting patterns:

📸 1 : Raw RGB drone imagery
📸 2 : Weed classification
📸 3 : Comparing plant (onion) classification to weed classification
📸 4 : Binned gap (dark blue) and weed (pink) analysis

Lately, we've been focused on vineyard assessments using multispectral imagery.

We are trialling methods for representing & communicating potential areas of concern to growers. Key has been experimenting with how representing at the micro (plant) level or macro (field) level can affect readability.

In terms of new adventures, I’ve founded a drone-based analytics company; Altitude Analytics.

We provide data-driven solutions to the kiwi agriculture sector, primary industries & infrastructure providers.

Super excited with what the future holds for our little company!
