Geovisual Technologies Inc.

Geovisual Technologies Inc. is a small business specializing in artificial intelligence and remote sensing applications for agriculture and land use monitoring. The company develops innovative technologies leveraging deep learning techniques to analyze Earth observation data and map land use and land cover changes. Through federal contract and grant awards, Geovisual Technologies provides research and development services focused on precision agriculture, multi-resolution deep learning for land use applications, and advanced computer vision solutions for analyzing satellite imagery. Their expertise spans areas such as nutrient and irrigation management, plant-by-plant fertilization, harvest forecasting, and time-to-harvest predictions for specialty crops.

Geovisual Technologies has received multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awards from NASA's Shared Services Center to conduct research on multi-resolution deep learning for land use applications. These contracts, awarded as total small business set-asides, include a $1,125,000 Phase II award in 2020 to develop advanced computer vision and machine learning techniques for analyzing Earth observation data to map and monitor land use and land cover changes over time. In September 2024, the company secured two additional SBIR Phase II contracts from NASA: a $750,000 award for near-realtime estimation and forecasting of national and global specialty crop supplies, and an $850,000 award for decision support for water management in the specialty crop agriculture sector. Most recently, in February 2024, the company was awarded a $149,616 SBIR Phase I contract to apply deep learning techniques for analyzing Earth observation data. These NASA contracts directly support the agency's Earth observation and environmental monitoring efforts.

Through federal grant awards, Geovisual Technologies has expanded its work in precision agriculture technologies for specialty crops. The company received a $150,000 Project Grant from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in 2023 to increase the adoption of nutrient and irrigation management practices for central coast vegetable production. This project leverages the company's expertise in remote sensing and AI to optimize environmental benefits on agricultural lands. Additionally, Geovisual Technologies secured a grant from the USDA's Institute of Food Production and Sustainability in 2023 to develop plant-by-plant precision fertilization capabilities for cool season vegetable crops, addressing rising input costs and environmental regulations in specialty crop farming. The company also participated as a sub-grantee in a Colorado Department of Agriculture project aimed at advancing irrigation scheduling capabilities for potato farmers in the San Luis Valley, demonstrating its commitment to water conservation and sustainable agricultural practices.
