Visual intelligence in field trials

Revolutionizing field trials: The Delair UX11 AG featuring the Alteia platform

Modern drone systems and advanced aerial imagery analytics are radically changing the nature of the farming industry. By providing comprehensive field data for plant phenotyping, you can better understand how seeds perform in the field. This represents a milestone in plant research. 

Now you too can benefit from this revolution: the high-performance, long-distance drone featuring the Alteia platform is designed to support the visual intelligence workflow during field trials.  

By combining this technology with powerful WINTERSTEIGER machinery, you can achieve superb breeding performance and harvesting quality in plant variety trials. This approach accelerates the progress of breeding programs while reducing labor time and costs per plot. 

Your advantages with the Delair UX11 AG

Spectral data of the highest quality and precisely geolocated plant data

The fully integrated multispectral camera takes bird's eye view photos, as well as images of biomass and chlorophyll during a single flight. Option to activate PPK capabilities for measurements.

BVLOS-compatible communication

Thanks to the optional wireless or cellular connection over the 3G network (4G-compatible), you have an unlimited range with Delair UX11 AG.

BTOL function

Bird take off and landing enables precise take offs and landings. The drone works at a high angle (30 degrees) for restricted areas and can also perform slow landings with distance measurement technology.

Easy-to-use Android™ app for operational planning and control

Pre-flight checklist, no-fly zones, and in-flight data control are displayed on the modern user interface.

Extensive analysis features of the long-distance drone

  • Orthophoto and digital surface model (DOM) 

  • Various maps (bird's eye view, green vegetation, chlorophyll content, and more) 

  • Plant counting, gap and plant height detection 

  • Vectorization of field, row, and small plot boundaries 

  • Management zones and samplingpoints 

Features of the innovative Alteia platform

Alteia can merge data from any source on a single platform. The platform is designed for gathering, managing, and analyzing data from all professional drones, making it drone agnostic.  

Exploit visual data:

Obtain a comprehensive overview of your sites, progress, and operations across your organization. Create orthophotos, a dynamic, digital surface model, slope maps, individual boundary lines, source images, comparison views, change maps, 3D networks, 3D point clouds, and special overlays.

Development and integration:

Use delair.ai as the back-end for your applications – for individual analysis options or exchanging data with your information system.

"Alteia – Visual Intelligence" is a separate company for application software:

In an effort to become the global market leader in AI-based application software, Delair has spun off the delair.ai software platform for data management and visualization.

Analytics

 

  • Small plot vectorization: Small plot boundaries, linking of small plot customer identification of the trial plan with the small plot 

  • Scouting maps: Bird's eye view (RGB), plant vitality (NDVI), green biomass (MCARI2), plant green (VARI), chlorophyll content (NDRE), chlorophyll concentration (CCCI), colored infrared (CIR), soil-adapted plant vitality (MSAVI2), and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) 

  • Statistics/small plots: Minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, scattering

  • Plant height/height statistics 

  • Plant and gap detection:Plant counting, geolocalization and length measurement of gaps, geolocalization of gaps at the end of rows 

  • Flowering characterization:Flowering layer, percentage of yellow flowers per small plot 

  • Emergence characterization:Emergence layer, percentage of emergence per small plot 

  • Immature plants: Percentage of immature plants per small plot 

  • Proportion of soil covered in vegetation:Biomass cover, degree of soil coverage per small plot
