Digital Soil Map

There is a big difference between soil maps that are created in analog and subjective environments and then digitized and soil maps that are created, from start to finish, using objective, digital methods. LandScan uses the worlds most advanced sensing systems and the unique analytics that enable us to produce spatially and statistically accurate 3D digital soil maps. This accuracy is critical to the effective deployment of precision applications and technologies as well as advanced crop analytics. Humans are better at understanding information if it can be displayed in a way that is intuitive. It is not practical to display the thousands of unique and independent sensor data dimensions in 3D for human consumption. At the same time, it is not necessary to display data at all for the analytics to assess, interpret, and classify the complex relationships between site characteristics. However, we do create some of these maps to help our customers understand the information better.

Field Intelligence

Calibrated Vegetation Images: The market presents so many options for satellite data, how does one make sense of it all? Sometimes these options involve images from different satellite constellations that have varying spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. LandScan doesn’t operate satellites; we specialize in spectral image processing specifically tuned to satisfy agricultural decision support needs. We consider our satellite-derived map products to be better than those of competitors. Why? It’s in our superior approach to correction and calibration. Our team includes several pioneers in remote sensing for agriculture. Of course, we have a deep understanding of satellite sensor engineering and data analytics, but what sets us apart is our combined understanding of biophysical and agronomic uses (and misuses) of this – now commoditized – information source.

Digital Vegetation Signature

There is more to airborne remote sensing than meets the eye. Unlike satellite data, imagery collected with airplanes or drones is not calibrated. Most providers will say they calibrate their airborne spectral imagery, but it is not calibrated at the pixel-scale which is important in order to generate analytical quality data in space and time. In addition to high-resolution spectral calibration, LandScan has added a thermal and a hyper-spatial calibration process.

Digital Soil Core

The Digital Soil Core (DSC) is a probe with 7 independent sensors that is pushed into the ground at a continuous rate that enables the DSC to characterize the full soil profile to a depth of 120cm+ in about 1 minute. The DSC is part of the LandScan Platform for Discovery site characterization and analysis system where it is digitally synchronized with other complimentary technologies. While LandScan is focused on agricultural applications of the DSC, there are many other applications outside agriculture as well.

Digital Deployment & Monitoring

Once a site is characterized it is now possible to eliminate the greatest source of error associated with understanding and acting on field observations by selecting the most appropriate and relevant locations within your fields to place sensors, obtain samples, and monitor dynamic field characteristics. LandScan has invested in several complimentary technologies that are unique and take advantage of the spatial and temporal context the field-scale digital twin provides.
