About.

Flying a drone and collecting satellite data does not equal to collecting useful data for predictive analytics. SLUcode is an expert in geospatial field with decades of experience in monitoring crop growth, mapping food security, and predicting land subsidence and collapses using InSAR. 

Established in 2018

SLUcode (a StreamLined system for Unstructured data Calibration, Orthorectification, geocoDing, and Enhancement​), LLC was established in 2018 as a geospatial AgTech company. In its early stage, SLUcode, LLC focused on developing AI-powered, data-driven solutions for calibration and enhancement of hyperspectral line scanner data for crop monitoring, which was a global challenge at that time. The company has since grown into a multifaceted geospatial technology company providing several services including UAV data collection, imagery analysis, cloud computing, and UAV/satellite data fusion for crop intelligence. The company has accumulated deep expertise in AI and machine learning, multi-scale imaging (ground, UAV, and satellite sensors) and multi-modality (hyperspectral, thermal, visual, LiDAR, and SAR) remote sensing that are critical for improving crop productivity and quality of life globally. As a sideline business, the company also provides InSAR mapping service of land deformation/settling due to mining or hydraulic fracturing, as well as geospatial training in UAV data collection, processing, spatial STEM.   ​ ​

Our Goal

  • Improve crop yield and maximize profit by predictive analytics of seed quality, environmental stress, and turning every pixel to actionable crop intelligence
  •  ​Provide reliable and accurate estimation of land deformation with InSAR
