==FARMING USING TOPOGRAPHY SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18045561 titled 'FARMING USING TOPOGRAPHY SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for identifying topography in a locality, analyzing sunlight exposure, and determining suitable crop types based on the sunlight exposure.

* Method for identifying topography in a locality
* Analysis of sunlight exposure intensity and variation over time
* Identification of suitable crop types based on sunlight exposure analysis

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in agriculture, urban planning, and environmental studies.

== Problems Solved ==
The technology helps in optimizing crop selection based on sunlight exposure, leading to improved crop yields and resource utilization.

== Benefits ==
- Increased crop productivity
- Efficient land use
- Environmental sustainability

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
- Agricultural consulting services
- Land development companies
- Environmental research organizations

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to remote sensing technologies for analyzing land topography and sunlight exposure.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the method account for seasonal variations in sunlight exposure? ===
The method may need to incorporate data on seasonal changes in sunlight exposure to provide accurate crop recommendations.

=== What are the potential limitations of the technology in different geographical regions? ===
The technology's effectiveness may vary in regions with extreme weather conditions or unique topographical features that affect sunlight exposure.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method is provided for identifying topography in a locality. The topography includes horizontal surfaces and vertical surfaces. Sunlight exposure incident to the identified topography is identified. The intensity of the identified sunlight exposure and variation over time is analysed. Crop types for growing on the topography based on the analysed intensity of sunlight exposure and variation over time are identified.
