1.1 Background of the Study
Agricultural productivity in Nigeria is heavily reliant on accurate data for land management, crop monitoring, and resource allocation. Satellite imagery has proven to be a valuable source of such data, offering insights into crop health, soil quality, and climatic conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has further revolutionized satellite image analysis by enabling advanced techniques such as pattern recognition, predictive analytics, and anomaly detection.
The Space Research Institute in Kaduna State has been at the forefront of utilizing satellite imagery for agricultural purposes. AI tools enable the extraction of actionable insights from large volumes of satellite data, providing farmers with precise recommendations to optimize yield and reduce waste (Adeyemi & Idris, 2025). This study investigates the transformative role of AI in satellite image analysis for agriculture.
