Science that ends up in the field.
Peer-reviewed research from our scientists and university partners, in breeding, indoor growing, plant imaging and satellite crop mapping.
Label-efficient hyperspectral classification that transfers to unseen crops and regions
A spectral–spatial classifier trained on 1 to 10% of labels, with at most two tuned settings, that transfers across scenes without retraining.
