ENHANCED AGRICULTURAL EFFICIENCY WITH PIXXEL'S HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY

Pixxel’s hyperspectral data, by spectrally fingerprinting the Earth, delivers vital insights for biodiversity mapping, water quality monitoring, carbon sequestration, and forest change detection. This technology enables tailored responses to pressing ecological challenges, helping make informed decisions at every stage of environmental management.

With Pixxel, environmental organisations, researchers, and policymakers can leverage precise data to enhance conservation efforts and drive effective environmental strategies.

AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

The agriculture industry is struggling to keep pace with modern demands because of obsolete methods and limited access to information. This gap hampers efficiency, sustainability, and resilience, exposing the sector to significant risks. Advanced technologies and data-driven solutions are crucial for addressing these persistent challenges.

  • Inefficient resource allocation and soil degradation: Lack of crop performance data and intensive farming leads to depleted soil health and wasteful use of water, land, and energy, decreasing productivity and resilience.
  • Environmental degradation and extreme weather events: Limited technology and data access impede sustainable practices and climate-resilient strategies, negatively affecting ecosystems.
  • Disease and pest outbreaks: Insufficient data delays timely intervention efforts, risking crop yields and food security.
  • Unmonitored agricultural practices: Inadequate monitoring leads to deceptive practices, compromising transparency and accountability.

DISCOVER THE HYPERSPECTRAL ADVANTAGE

Hyperspectral imaging offers high spectral resolution, enabling precise identification and detailed characterisation of different farmlands through narrow wavelength bands. This gives unique insights into their physical and chemical properties, surpassing the capabilities of multispectral imaging.

Hyperspectral imaging accurately identifies materials and differentiates surface features by analysing unique spectral signatures. This technology revolutionises crop assessment, enhancing agricultural productivity and environmental management.

  • Localised problem detection and data-driven agricultural practices
    Pixxel’s imaging satellites capture information across 250+ spectral bands, providing accurate crop classification data and promoting the adoption of sustainable farming practices.

    Hyperspectral images of croplands help decision-makers identify highly localised in-field patterns and region-specific trends, ensuring precise problem detection, effective agricultural planning and environmentally responsible farming. This technology also supports continuous variation tracking to improve operational efficiency throughout the growing season.
  • Streamlined crop and soil health monitoring
    With a 5-meter spatial resolution, Pixxel’s satellites provide detailed insights into crop variations, biochemical composition, and health.

    Hyperspectral data detects nutrient deficiencies, vegetation stress, and soil imbalances, allowing timely interventions to optimise yields, reduce costs and allocate resources efficiently. Continuous monitoring supports precise actions to better crop health, support soil regeneration, and maintain long-term agricultural success.
  • Early disease estimation and mitigation
    Pixxel’s hyperspectral satellites offer daily revisit frequency anywhere on the planet, which is essential for detecting and forecasting crop and agricultural diseases and pests.

    Hyperspectral technology provides timely information on pre-symptomatic disease detection, enabling early intervention to prevent significant threats and minimise crop losses. Access to hyperspectral data allows agronomists to experiment with and monitor crop varieties against biotic and abiotic stressors, maximising yields every harvest period.
  • Advanced Precision Agriculture
    Pixxel's hyperspectral technology delivers 50X more data than conventional satellites, enabling precise crop species and variety classification.
    • Plant health: Measure chlorophyll, photosynthesis, and evapotranspiration rates.
    • Soil health: Assess nutrients, soil characteristics, and water content.
    • Effluent monitoring: Detect seepages like hydrocarbons and nutrient leeching.
    • Early crop stress detection: Identifies stress before physical symptoms, facilitating timely intervention.
