Smartphone based big data analytics project
INNOBIZ Group (Pty) Ltd (INNOBIZ) is on the drive to convert their research ideas of big data analytics interface of the soil into a practical algorithm for soil fertility testing to unlock the productivity potential of small-scale crop farmers. INNOBIZ has proven its research concept of using a smartphone-based digital image to predict physical and chemical soil properties for agricultural soil testing.
INNOBIZ investigated the probability of using a generic smartphone camera to collect soil data and analytically derive information about soil nitrogen, pH, texture and moisture content. A solution towards affordable and easy access to soil testing services, INNOBIZ has developed a ‘first-of-its-kind’ agricultural soil analysis mobile application. We have formulated a modular (core-shell) innovation scope by combining, two state-of-art digital tools; Digital Image Processing (DIP) and Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (ML-AI), in the form of a smartphone-based application for serving in the agriculture sector. INNOBIZ has developed a Multiple Linear Regression (MRL) algorithm that can be incorporated into the independent device and mobile application.
