About

Abaqus Field

Features
Read full description

AbaQus Field is the app supporting the assessments in your field trials. After getting on-line the trial information (protocol, assessment parameters, etc), you can select it at your field site. Starting the assessment, you confirm the data related to the trial (i.e.: day, subsamples / plot) and start to acquire pictures. Be aware about the instructions on how to collect pictures, as the quality of the results depends strongly on the quality on the pictures and its acquisition. Use a magnifier in your smartphone when appropriated. You can collect your visual assessments per plot at the same time. Once, you and your colleagues have finished the acquisition of pictures, upload them to the cloud. In your computer, you can visualize the pictures. In the assessment module, the prediction will be displayed, and you can confirm / correct the results before reporting them to SPEAD. In the training module, you can access your visual assessments from SPEAD or from the app (if you have used it to collect your visual assessments).
