Innovating farming using Computer Vision and Neural Networks.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is endangering the health and livelihoods of millions of people in Asia and MENA regions. Disruption of food supply is a major challenge resulting from COVID-19. It has been estimated that the number of people facing a food crisis will grow from 135 million to 265 million by the end of this year.
Labor for harvesting, processing, transport, and distribution has been threatened by restriction on movement and management of risks of the spread of the virus. New challenges require new methods and innovations of collecting and processing data. Prominent farmtech startup has approached Vostok AI team to create customer Computer Vision & Neural network solution to eliminate intensive manual labor and automatically control the growth of the plants on their farms.
