Wadhwani AI – National Pest Surveillance System
Image recognition counts harmful insects on photos of traps and helps agricultural services warn faster.
About
Wadhwani AI developed image models that recognize and count insects on photos of traps. The technology is part of India's National Pest Surveillance System. By aggregating field observations faster, agricultural services can track pest outbreaks earlier and provide more targeted advice. Photos, model outputs, and local conditions still need to be interpreted by agricultural experts.
AI factor
Manually counting insects on many traps takes agricultural advisors a lot of time. Image recognition produces an initial count and trend overview; experts determine whether control is needed and which approach is appropriate.
