Happy New 2020 Year with Plants. From Petiole with accuracy of measurements and love

2019 was a year with plants and measurements. And we are happy because it was pretty busy for Petiole. Since now is the best time to remember the biggest milestones, let’s speak more about what we have done in the last 365 days.

Year with Plants and Computer Vision

It was a great thing to spend 2019 looking at plants with Computer Vision. As a great supporter of this technology, our team was delighted to work on core algorithms of leaf area and chlorophyll content measurement. Also, we considered the need to work on other new tools for farming and plant research.

Finally, in 2019 we build great plans for the future of Petiole. Seeing how quickly the technology is improving and accelerating, we understand that a smartphone can bring even more value for farmers and growers in the next couple of years. As a result, we have drafted our plans for 2020.

The main aspect for us is to launch a new, updated Petiole app, with more Computer Vision algorithms for measurement, counting and colour detection. Do you have any specific need, where our existing algorithm may help?
