Phragmites Detector is an AI-driven system that uses drone imagery and adaptive machine learning to identify and track invasive Phragmites in wetlands. Designed for conservation groups, it offers scalable, accurate, and user-friendly tools for early detection, monitoring, and ecological reporting.

In late 2024, Saiwa Co and Ducks Unlimited Canada launched a project to enhance UAV-based detection and surveillance of the invasive aquatic plant Water Soldier (Stratiotes Aloides) using advanced image processing and deep learning. The team addressed challenges from dense and submerged vegetation, environmental noise, and irregular plant shapes by reformulating the task as semantic segmentation. The project delivered a robust model achieving 95.52% pixel accuracy, enabling accurate monitoring of both isolated plants and dense colonies, supporting early intervention, efficient management, and a scalable foundation for future multispectral enhancements.

In early 2025, Saiwa and Airwyse collaborated to automate counting of pollination bags in pine orchards using autonomous drones and AI-driven image analysis. This innovative solution replaced labor-intensive manual counting, improving accuracy and efficiency in yield prediction. Tested on 44 pine trees, the system demonstrated promising results, paving the way for scalable orchard management automation.

We at Saiwa Inc. are thrilled to announce the successful completion of an innovative project focused on the measurement of interpupillary distance (IPD) and pupil height. This groundbreaking solution was developed in collaboration with Innovation Venture Farm to address the growing need for precision in optical device fitting and design. By leveraging cutting-edge AI techniques and the Mediapipe framework, our solution detects and calculates critical parameters such as the center of the pupil and the lowest point of glasses lenses. These measurements are crucial for applications in eyeglasses, VR/AR headsets, and other optical technologies. The results are delivered with unmatched accuracy and efficiency, empowering manufacturers to deliver tailored products to their users. This project also integrates Saiwa’s Annotation Services, which ensure data labeling precision and scalability, making it easier for users to achieve reliable outcomes.
