Standardized Trial Deliverables.
Zero Black-Box Guesswork.

Research directors and biometricians do not need raw unverified detections—they need repeatable, plot-indexed tables that import directly into R, SAS, Agrobase, or Breeding Management System (BMS) with human-reviewed quality assurance.

01 / CLIENT INPUTS

Standard sUAS Flight Exports

Provide standard photogrammetric orthomosaics (GeoTIFF), optional surface elevation models (DSM/DEM or point cloud), and your trial plot map or field book (Shapefile, GeoJSON, or row/range CSV).

  • Recommended GSD: 0.5 cm to 2.0 cm / pixel
  • Sensors: Standard RGB or 5-band multispectral
  • Coordinate Reference: Projected UTM / State Plane
02 / VERIFICATION PROTOCOL

Human-in-the-Loop QA Audit

Every managed processing pass combines automated candidate extraction with structured human-in-the-loop boundary and chip review before plot summaries are locked.

  • Paired middle-row vs. all-row count isolation
  • Border-effect and alley-intrusion filtering
  • Flagged low-confidence plots for agronomist sign-off
03 / TURNKEY OUTPUTS

Breeder-Ready Data Package

Delivered within 48–72 hours of imagery upload as a version-controlled archive containing tabular plot metrics, spatial overlays, and visual verification chips.

  • Plot-level & row-level CSV biometric tables
  • Georeferenced plot & detection GeoJSON layers
  • Audited visual QA report for trial documentation
Intellectual Property & Data Sovereignty Note: Dakota Agros processes client trial imagery within isolated environments. While our internal multi-strata feature synthesis and model weights remain proprietary to Dakota AI, 100% of your raw trial imagery, plot maps, and exported phenotypic tables remain your exclusive property.
