GeoVisual Analytics Leverages AI for Agriculture Insights

According to Tractica's research, one of the industries best positioned to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) – at least in the developed world – is agriculture. In our Artificial Intelligence for Enterprise Applications report, we forecast that spending on AI software in the agriculture industry will grow from 16.2 million to 373.7 million by 2024. Recently we sat down with Jeffrey Orrey, CEO of GeoVisual Analytics. GeoVisual is a Boulder-based startup focused on using remote sensing and big data analytics to improve and predict crop yields, better manage croplands, and improve harvests. The company's analysis is based on the properties of electromagnetic waves in the near infrared (NIR) spectrum, which are invisible to the human eye.
