InfoAg 2011, July 12-14, Springfield, IL

Presentation Spotlight

Future 3D Remote Sensing Systems from Satshot integrated with FSA Grower Data

Agri ImaGIS Technologies, provides tools and analysis services for the use of remote sensing imagery into the precision farming industry and the crop insurance industry. With the new release of Satshot 3D and Satshot Mobile in September, users can search and fly through their fields on a 3D topographic perspective along with full analysis of Infrared imagery from multiple satellite and aerial sources. The new Satshot mobile system allows users to analyze vegetation from near infrared imagery in the field along with attributing field information over their smartphone. Users are able to search for growers from the Farm Market ID FSA grower database allowing the cellphone to access a field anywhere to help them efﬁciently handle geo spatial data for their needs in a mobile environment while recording all data and analysis back to the Satshot 3D server for later user access. The new search capabilities in Satshot 3D tied to the Farm Market ID FSA grower database will allow users to search, analyze, map and record information of any farm operator in seconds. Users will also have the ability to store and access multiple geospatial layers of data whether they are Yield maps, Veris maps, RTK topo, soils, and any other vector or raster data.

Dear InfoAg Participants:

We would like to thank you for helping make InfoAg 2009 a huge success. The over 650 participants shared in presentations on a wide range of topics on technology applications and data management and interpretation. As with previous InfoAg Conferences, the networking among participants was again a highlight of the experience. New relationships formed at InfoAg will lead to greater benefits and opportunities for those involved. Ideas exchanged in the hallways and the exhibit hall will form the basis for the new deliverables at the next conference. Those who took advantage of the Pre-Conference Tour on Monday picked up some additional first-hand knowledge and interactions.

Looking ahead, please consider participating in the 10th International Conference on Precision Agriculture (ICPA) in Denver, CO, July 18-21, 2010. ICPA has a stronger research focus, but still has a good component of applied technology through the A to Z sessions. Volunteer presentations and poster presentations offer a somewhat different format from InfoAg, and the representation of over 40 countries expands the networking opportunities. (See www.icpaonline.org for details and registration.)

And plan to come back to Springfield for InfoAg 2011, planned for July 2011. Please send us any comments or suggestions that will help us make these next two events even more beneficial to those who participate.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Harold Reetz, Jr.
