Crop Insurance Verification Specialist
Query STAC collections for post-freeze Sentinel-2 and Landsat surface reflectance scenes.
Filter STAC items by cloud cover metadata and download assets to compute vegetation stress indices.
Cross-reference spatial crop anomaly boundaries with agricultural parcel registers using geographic tools.
Generate a verified parametric frost loss assessment with observation confidence bounds based on cloud interference.
Dual-pane dashboard showing downloaded optical imagery, masked cloud layers, and parametric trigger verification matrices.
Query public Earth observation STAC APIs (such as Earth Search) for imagery URLs. Store sample parcel boundaries in local GeoJSON files. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
STAC specification Queries STAC API to locate relevant Items, inspects cloud cover properties, and utilizes asset links to retrieve raw imagery for analysis.
langgraph, pystac-client, rasterio, geopandas. Orchestrates multi-step spatial querying, downloading, and LLM-based verification pipelines using stateful graph workflows. Requires an LLM capable of generating geospatial processing code and interpreting formatted parametric claim data.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Parses STAC Item asset links and successfully downloads raster imagery for the specified timeframe.
Calculates vegetation stress indices from the downloaded imagery to identify crop anomalies against baseline data.
Identifies and discounts cloud-contaminated pixels to compute and report explicit uncertainty percentages.
