Pocket Agronomist brings Machine Learning and AR to Agriculture - Published on 08/02/18

Pocket Agronomist is now available for free on the iOS App Store, applying machine learning and augmented reality to common problems in agriculture. Using a trained convolutional neural network, Pocket Agronomist can diagnose corn diseases in realtime from iPhone or iPad camera feeds and show you where those diseases are on a leaf. With the aid of ARKit, the locations of plants in a field can be precisely measured to automate the process of gathering crop statistics.

Middleton, Wisconsin - Agricultural Intelligence today announces the availability of Pocket Agronomist on the iOS App Store, an application that uses convolutional neural networks and augmented reality to diagnose crop diseases and perform automated stand counts. Pocket Agronomist is currently free.

Pocket Agronomist is a crop scouting application designed to support growers, agronomists, field interns, and other agricultural professionals tasked with monitoring crop development and field conditions. The application uses augmented reality and convolutional neural networks to perform two common crop scouting tasks: stand counts and disease identification.

Unlike other crop scouting applications requiring manual data entry, form fill-outs, checklists or hierarchy trees, Pocket Agronomist automates the stand counting and disease identification processes, allowing you to simply point your iPhone or iPad camera at the crop and begin receiving insights.

In place of time-consuming manual measurements for plant distance, Pocket Agronomist makes gathering stand count statistics easy with the aid of augmented reality. You simply aim your camera at the ground near a plant and tap to locate it. As each plant is identified in a row, their real-world locations are tracked, shown in a live 3-D overlay on the camera feed, and the distances between them precisely measured. When done, the application automatically calculates the following stand count metrics: the total number of plants within the count, the average distance between each plant, the standard deviation of the count, the estimated plant population based on the count, and an estimated yield loss resulting from uneven spacing. These results can then be averaged with other stand counts from within the same field or sent to the appropriate parties for further reporting.

In addition to stand counts, Pocket Agronomist utilizes high-performance convolutional neural networks to diagnose and localize crop diseases from live camera video. Using leading edge object detection techniques, crop diseases are detected and diagnosed in real time when you point your device at a plant. You don't have to line up for a perfect photo or upload anything to a server, a labeled box will be drawn around any disease detected in the live camera video. All analysis is performed on device and in real time, allowing the application to function in regions without data connectivity (a common situation with remote farm fields).

Currently, Pocket Agronomist is trained to identify 12 foliar corn diseases and man-made anomalies prevalent in the United States, including: Anthracnose Leaf Blight, Bacterial Leaf Streak, Common Rust, Eyespot, Goss's Bacterial Wilt, Gray Leaf Spot, Northern Corn Leaf Blight, Northern Leaf Spot, Physoderma Brown Spot, Common Smut, Southern Rust and Urea Burn.

Device Requirements:
* iOS 10.0 or greater
* iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2, iPad Air, iPod touch 6th generation or better for disease diagnosis
* iPhone 6S, iPhone SE, iPad Mini 4, iPad Pro or better for augmented reality stand counts

Pricing and Availability:
Pocket Agronomist for iOS is available for free today on the iOS App Store in the Utilities category.

Drawing on almost thirty years' experience within the phone and gadget insurance industry, and insuring 950,000 devices in Europe to-date, the team's plans for expansion were driven by the currently limited options for consumers to insure their iPhones independently in Ireland.

Ruzzle Cheat helps Ruzzle players who take time to create words from scratch. Curling Buddies is the game to try if you have always had a fascination with curling.

Long Island, New York - AlphaDigits names five top class mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. This website has now released the names of top rated mobile apps for the month of July.

Ruzzle Cheat (10/10): If you like to play word games and have gotten hooked on Ruzzle, you don't have to be left in the dust if you are part of the latter group who takes more time to create words from scratch. You can take full advantage of Ruzzle Cheat. Even without the in-app purchase, Ruzzle Cheat provides so much in terms of words to create which judges you to come up with even more words fast.

Curling Buddies (9.5/10): It is the game to try if you have always had a fascination with curling - but never really wanted to play the real thing. You get one character to start with for free. Then you set her on a course for success by carefully swiping her towards the rings where she needs to stop. At each level, successful swipes will earn you stars. Get three stars and move on to the next level.

Crystal Math (9/10): While the name of the app may make you laugh when you first read it, this app is far from being anything detrimental to your mind. Crystal Math - Numbers on Speed is exactly that - a way to learn your numbers and quick arithmetic in an environment where speed is key. You don't have to be perfect when you start. The game has four different categories from which to select games.

tikki (8.5/10): With tikki, the receiving end of the call doesn't need internet, only the initiator of the call does. It is great because it provides the stable connection of a regular call without having the need for Internet at least from the receiving end. It's free to download, and it's safe to use. All communications are encrypted, so unwanted eyes and ears are not privy to your personal conversations, be they verbal or written.

Batlez (8/10): This app doesn't just support fun competition, it also provides a neat way for folks to gather around common likes, activities and hobbies. If you are an expert at skateboarding and have mastered a few tricks, Batelz could be the place to go to showcase them and see what others think. You could launch yourself into a battle or you might just get a good dose of constructive criticism to up your game.

Joe Ellen, an Editor at AlphaDigits said, "Apart from the Featured Review service, we offer Review Campaign, Notification promotion and Review generation services for mobile applications." Developers can also contact AlphaDigits through the onsite form, mail or the contact form to get their apps reviewed.
