AI forecasts crop growth using satellite data and weather patterns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a method to forecast crop growth using Earth observation data and meteorological drivers. The study focuses on predicting future leaf area index (LAI) trajectories for winter wheat, utilizing a multi-year dataset from Switzerland. By employing sequence-to-sequence models, the approach aims to overcome challenges posed by sparse LAI supervision due to cloud cover and revisit gaps, demonstrating improved trajectory plausibility and accuracy.
