CropLogic has signed an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement (IPTA) with the University of Canterbury (UC) for computer vision technology from Associate Professor Richard Green in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Under the agreement, UC will develop analytical systems and processes to enable successful crop health monitoring using aerial images. CropLogic will use the UC technology and Green’s expert advice to enhance its existing on-line crop management system for potato growers – a cloud-based decision support tool that enables growers to optimise water and nitrogen use in order to achieve desired crop yields.
