High-Performance Computing
​
All You Need Is:
-
Any off-the-shelf drone & camera
-
A laptop (Windows 10, 16GB RAM)
How it works
Smart
A Novel Approach - 4 Simple Steps:
1. At the field's edge: Stitch 500+ images on a laptop without internet in 5-15 minutes using new image stitching algorithms developed at Purdue University so you know you got what you came for before you leave the field.
2. At the office: Easily draw your plot grid on the stitched
orthomosaic & adjust for different plot layouts & planting errors.
3. Automatically extract thousands of undistorted, custom-labelled Plot Clipsâ„¢ from your raw images.
4. Automatically analyze the
Plot Clipsâ„¢ to get metrics of
plant growth & health using
a suite of powerful algorithms.
Fast
The capability to convert raw imagery of any field trial into plot clipsâ„¢ & metrics within an hour on minimal hardware while bypassing long upload & download times or the need to explain to service providers what a 'plot' is are critical to being able to do this on your own 10x faster than before.

Story
Our patented Plot Clipâ„¢ technology is the culmination of 8 years of R&D by engineers & breeders at Purdue University. With support from the Purdue Foundry, we've made this revolutionary technology available to all agronomists in the form of fast & user-friendly software - Phenixâ„¢.
Mission
To enable agronomists that don't have the time or resources to develop their own image processing pipelines to get the maximum possible value out of low-cost equipment & hardware so they can stay competitive & continue helping farmers feed the world.
Technology
Optimized for processing high-resolution, high-overlap imagery of small plot trials on minimal hardware, this elegant combination of speed & flexibility enables you to quickly convert thousands of images of many different trials into plot clipsâ„¢ & metrics labelled according to your own field diagram on a regular basis.
