Dabeeo seals MoU With Saba Legend To Monitor Palm Tree Plantations In Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 (Bernama) -- Dabeeo Inc, a geospatial information technology company recently concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saba Legend, a Malaysian GIS company, aiming at periodically monitoring the health of trees and promptly identifying undernourished palm trees through technical collaboration.

“Dabeeo's AI technology can realise its full potential when using satellite images in various manners, such as identifying different types of trees in Saba.

“Through this agreement, we hope to establish a good case in which Dabeeo's technology is successfully used in the vegetation environment field,” said Dabeeo’s Vice President, Victor Choi, at the MoU ceremony.

Dabeeo in a statement announced its plan to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) analysis technology using 30-centimetre (cm)-level ultra-precise satellite images to monitor palm tree plantations in Malaysia.

The palm oil plantation that has corporated with Saba Legend covers an area of about 300 square kilometre (km2), the size of about 42,000 football fields.

The two companies will jointly seek opportunities to explore precision farming in order to save the time and cost spent for managing a large-scale farm by leveraging Dabeeo's AI technology.

Dabeeo previously conducted an analysis of certain plantation areas by using a specific band (Red-NIR) of satellite images to derive Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a representative indicator of vegetation status.

Based on this experience, Dabeeo aims to use its AI analysis technology in future collaboration to analyse the vegetation indices of palm trees based on 30-cm-level ultra-precise satellite images at regular intervals, visualise the related data, and deliver it to the farm, contributing to the operations of palm oil plantations.
