Feeding the World One Plant at a Time

Description

Join this session to learn how the CVML and Data Platform team at BlueRiver Technology utilized Databricks to maximize savings on herbicide usage and revolutionize Precision Agriculture. Blue River Technology is an agricultural technology company that uses computer vision and machine learning (CVML) to revolutionize the way crops are grown and harvested. BRT’s See & Spray technology, which uses CVML to identify and precisely determine whether the plant is a weed or a crop so it can deliver a small, targeted dose of herbicide directly to the plant, while leaving the crop unharmed. By using this approach, Blue River significantly reduces the amount of herbicides used in agriculture by over 70% and has a positive impact on the environment and human health. The technical challenges we seek to overcome are:  - Processing massive petabytes of proprietary data at scale and in real time. Equipment in the field can generate up to 40TBs of data per hour per machine. - Aggregating, curating and visualizing at scale data can often be convoluted, error-prone and complex.  - Streamlining pipelines runs from weeks to hours to ensure continuous delivery of data.  - Abstracting and automating  th
