Product SKU:71302-02
Revision Date:2024-12-03
Product Overview
Description
Field Scale Male/Female Tassel Count provides tassel count at representative locations across a field. This product independently quantifies metrics across male and female row planting pattern. This product utilizes high-resolution RGB imagery captured at sampled locations across a field to deliver a Spot Scout layer. Specific deliverables for this product are crop dependent.Recommended Use Cases
- Plant Population
- Plant Growth
- Growth Stage
- Yield Potential
- Crop Damage
- Field Purity
- Area of Interest Variability
- Detasseling Inspection
Supported Crops
- Corn/Maize
Deliverables Summary

Environmental Conditions
Lighting
Imagery should be captured between the time of 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset. Consistent lighting conditions required for best results, including avoidance of hard shadows cast over the field which cause bright spots and dark spots in the dataset.Wind
Wind conditions should be within the specified limits of the aircraft or system being used to carry the imaging sensor.Precipitation
There should be no active precipitation during imagery capture.Deliverables
