AI & Innovation

Machine Learning for Spatial Intelligence

Planora's R&D team has developed and integrated several proprietary ML models that dramatically accelerate geospatial data processing:

AutoExtract™ — Our CNN-based pipeline automatically identifies buildings, roads, water bodies, and vegetation from high-resolution orthomosaics with 94% classification accuracy.

CropSense™ — A time-series NDVI analysis engine that correlates multi-temporal satellite imagery with crop yield models, enabling early stress detection and precision intervention.

FloodPredict™ — A hydrological modelling AI trained on DEM, rainfall, and land cover data to generate probabilistic flood inundation maps in near real-time.

AI Capabilities

Automated building & road extraction from imagery
Multi-class land cover classification (20+ classes)
Object detection in point clouds (poles, trees, vehicles)
Time-series vegetation stress prediction
Automated QA flagging of survey anomalies
Natural language spatial query interface (PlanBot™)
Semantic 3D scene understanding from LiDAR
Flood inundation prediction from DEM + rainfall
Infrastructure

Cloud-First Data Pipeline

Our end-to-end processing pipeline ensures data security, scalability, and rapid delivery.

01

Field to Cloud

All field data is securely encrypted and uploaded to AWS GovCloud within hours of collection via our PlanoraSynk mobile app.

02

Parallel Processing

GPU-accelerated photogrammetry, LiDAR classification, and image processing run simultaneously on auto-scaling cloud clusters.

03

QA & Validation

Every output passes automated QA checks including ground control verification, accuracy statistics, and completeness validation.

04

Secure Delivery

Final deliverables are published to the client's private portal with access-controlled download links and full audit trails.
