Two students of Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) have created an algorithm that might be able to revolutionize the UAE's agriculture industry while reducing food waste and enhancing food security.
Sarah Al Barri and Mugariya Farooq have developed a machine learning framework to detect plant disease by taking pictures using a drone and predicting crop yield through key information fed on a mobile app. The artificial intelligence-powered solution for the agriculture industry consists of two major parts that work together, said the students pursuing masters in machine learning.
Early-stage detection of diseases and knowledge of the yield will help the farming community to stabilise the supply and demand of different crops.
