Provides drone-based weed mapping combined with AI-driven detection software to identify and geolocate individual weed seedlings across agricultural fields. This enables precision herbicide application through section control or spot spraying, reducing herbicide use by up to 95% and cutting costs by over €20 per hectare while aligning with EU Green Deal regulations.

Problem
Traditional methods of weed control in agriculture involve blanket herbicide applications, leading to overuse of chemicals, increased costs, and negative environmental impacts. Identifying and targeting individual weed seedlings across large fields is challenging and labor-intensive.
Solution
SAM-DIMENSION provides drone-based weed mapping and AI-powered detection software to precisely identify and geolocate individual weed seedlings in agricultural fields. The classified target weeds are marked with their geolocation and transferred to an application map. This enables farmers to apply herbicides only where needed, using section control or spot spraying, resulting in reduced herbicide use and costs while promoting sustainable practices. The system integrates with existing sprayer technology for efficient and targeted application.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes farmers, agricultural service providers, and precision application agronomists seeking to reduce herbicide use, lower costs, and improve weed control performance.
