The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agri-tech is taking the industry to new heights. Explore how ODA with its unique AI solution for rice seed quality detection and productivity improvement is contributing to this revolution.
Rice is one of the most widely consumed staple food in the world, and its cultivation is a crucial part of the global food industry. As per Statista, the global rice consumption pattern is depicting an increasing trend. The worldwide consumption of rice has rose from 437.18 million metric tons in 2008/09 to nearly 509.87 million metric tons in 2021/2022.
As the demand for quality rice continues to grow, the pressure on agriculturists is steadily mounting. However, there are many factors that impact the quality of rice. These factors typically include insect damage, fungal infections, and storage conditions. This can result in negative impacts on the quality of the grain and the overall productivity of the rice industry.
Amidst this challenging scenario, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a formidable force to give a new dimension to the rice production industry.
Markets&Markets has predicted that by 2026, the spending on AI in agriculture is expected to grow to $4 billion, with the CAGR reaching 25.5%. This clearly speaks of an era where agriculturists will implement AI at every important stage of the crop lifecycle to improve its productivity. Rice being an important crop, tactical implementation of AI can bring a significant improvement in its quality and productivity.
As an AI specialist, Optimum Data Analytics (ODA) is making significant contributions to the rice production industry by automating the inspection process and improving the accuracy and efficiency of rice seed quality assessment.
With our bespoke solution, Seed Vision, we have brought forward an advanced mechanism to assure the highest levels of rice seed quality.
Here, we help you explore more on how Seed Vision can help agriculturists counter the challenges of sustaining consistency in rice productivity.
The Approach
Here is a snapshot of the approach that ODA is implementing to improve rice seed quality:
The first step is to collect data on high-resolution rice seed images and train the data set by using deep learning algorithms.
This allows the AI model to accurately identify and classify various disorders in rice grains, leading to a more comprehensive assessment of the grain quality.
This technology uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms to automatically detect and classify the various disorders in rice grains. This helps to improve the quality processing and assessment of the rice, leading to more efficient and accurate results.
What are the Benefits of Seed Vision?
Interestingly, the bespoke approach implemented by ODA for rice seed detection has been fetching several crucial benefits, which are:
Significant time saving
One of the main benefits of using AI for rice seed detection is that it saves time and resources compared to manual inspection.
Accuracy enhancement
Automating the process also reduces the dependency on manual inspection, which is time-consuming and subject to human error.
Ultra-capable models
Moreover, AI algorithms can also be trained to identify specific disorders in the rice grain that might not be noticeable to the human eye.
Continuous monitoring
Another benefit of using AI for rice seed detection is that it can be used to monitor the grain over time. This enables the industry to track the quality of the grain and take proactive steps to address any issues that might arise.
Overall, ODA’s solution is allowing for a more comprehensive assessment of the quality of the grain and helps to detect issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. This can lead to improved yields, lower costs, and better product quality, which ultimately benefits the entire rice industry.
To Sum Up
Rice grows in different geographical settings across the globe. Sustaining consistency in production is thus subject to various location-specific challenges.
ODA’s Seed Vision aims to overcome the limitations and assure constant generation of positive outcomes. As we saw, using AI and deep learning algorithms, it automates the process of rice seed quality detection and optimizes and streamlines the process of crop productivity enhancement.
Seed Vision is thus playing a pivotal role in improving yields, lowering costs, and bettering crop quality. This is a major step forward in the effort to make the agri-tech industry more efficient, sustainable, and high-quality.
