SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CROP HEALTH MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring crop health of a geographic region, the method comprising:
- receiving a first image of the geographic region captured at a first time;
generating a first performance value based on the first image;
determining a performance value change based on the first performance value and a second performance value, the second performance value associated with a second image of the geographic region captured at a second time;
determining an expected performance value change based on a third performance value associated with a third image of the geographic region captured at a third time; and
in response to the performance value change differing beyond a threshold from the expected performance value change, detecting a first crop health anomaly for the geographic region.

Abstract
A method for monitoring crop health of a geographic region includes receiving an image comprising a set of image elements, the image corresponding to a time unit, mapping an image element of the set of image elements to a geographic sub-region of the geographic region, determining a geographic region performance value for the image element, determining a geographic region performance value change, and identifying a crop health anomaly based on the geographic region performance change and an expected geographic region performance value change. Determining the geographic region performance value for the image element can include determining a vegetative performance value for the image element, mapping the image element to a crop type, and normalizing the vegetative performance value.

11. A method for monitoring crop health of a geographic region, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first image of the geographic region; generating a first performance value based on the first image; combining the first performance value with an additional performance value to generate a combined performance value associated with a first time; determining a performance value change based on the combined performance value and a second performance value, the second performance value associated with a second time and a second image of the geographic region; and identifying a crop health anomaly based on the performance value change and an expected performance value change. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for monitoring crop health of a geographic region, the method comprising:
-
generating an expected region performance for the geographic region based on a historic combined value, wherein generating the expected region performance comprises; determining a first performance value based on a first image associated with a first time; determining a second performance value based on a second image associated with a second time; generating the historic combined value based on the first and the second performance values; generating an actual region performance for the geographic region based on a combined value, wherein generating the actual region performance comprises; determining a third performance value based on a third image associated with a third time; determining a fourth performance value based on a fourth image associated with a fourth time; generating the combined value based on the third and the fourth performance values; and identifying a crop health anomaly based on the actual region performance and the expected region performance. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
