The Challenge
Agricultural teams needed to collaboratively annotate satellite imagery to define paddock boundaries, but existing tools lacked real-time collaboration and Earth Engine integration.
Key challenges included:
- No real-time collaboration for distributed teams
- Limited integration with satellite imagery sources
- Slow and cumbersome boundary drawing tools
- Difficulty managing annotations across large areas
- Version control issues with shared datasets
Industry Context
Precision agriculture relies on accurate paddock boundaries for variable rate applications, yield mapping, and crop monitoring. Efficient boundary creation enables better farm management decisions.
