Real models. Real inference.

Not a black box. Four Hugging Face models, loaded once at startup, fed by a capture-and-simulation pipeline and served from both cloud and edge.

The Model Ensemble

Four models, one verdict

PlantVillage MobileNet

How a field becomes a decision

01

Drone & Capture

Flight planning and an RGB→NIR translation network — derived from anomaly-detection research — let standard cameras stand in for expensive multispectral rigs.

02

Simulation Twin

A crop-growth and environment simulation generates training data and a safe testbed for the full pipeline before it ever touches a real field.

03

Cloud Pipeline

Imagery flows into a scalable analysis pipeline that fuses the modalities, runs the model ensemble and renders results to an online dashboard.

04

Edge Inference

The same models run on Jetson Orin hardware in the field, so results are available without waiting on connectivity.
