In this paper, we propose several techniques for data reduction and spatialtemporal prediction in precision agriculture databases. The proposed methods are based on various statistical and machine learning techniques including sensitivity based analysis, spatial-temporal autoregression, multiple time series and response modeling with spatially-correlated residuals. The considered techniques are...

Using the Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs in a wide variety of applications is currently considered one of the most challenging solutions. For instance, this technology has evolved the agriculture field, with the precision agriculture challenge. In fact, the cost of sensors and communication infrastructure continuously trend down as long as the technological advances. So, more growers dare to imp...

Precision Agriculture intersection of computer science and agriculture from large-scale, uniform treatment to small-scale, precise treatment large data collections one of the first steps in data mining: visualise the data Visualisation visualise data components use self-organising maps use Sammon's Mapping find hidden correlations recover data interdependencies → gain insights into data sets Da...

Combining with agricultural production practice, we propose the agriculture wireless and humidity sensor network design, which is based on ZigBee technology. And we use the chip based on the CC2530 ZigBee protocol as the sensor nodes and coordinator nodes for data collection, transmission and display, aiming to realize the agricultural production automation and precision agriculture.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent technological developments used for precision agriculture. They provide high-resolution images taken from crops and when specific indices are applied, useful outputs for farm management decision-making are produced. The current paper provides a literature review on the use of UAVs in agriculture and specific applications are presented.

Precision agriculture is the developing trend of modern agriculture, and the rational utilization of fertilizer is one of the key technologies in the precision agriculture, which needs to fertilize variably according to the crop needs and soil fertility conditions. Thus a fertilizer automated proportioning equipment is developed to Proportion the three fertilizers: Nitrogen fertilizer, Phosphor...

Recent advances in communications technology and wireless sensor networks made new trends to emerge in agriculture sector. One such new trend is Precision Agriculture. In this paper we are giving brief outline of using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in Monitoring water level in the farm area for Precision Agriculture. This algorithm offers a maximum opportunity of delivery of water level inform...

Although predictable output is desirable for most businesses, agriculture is behind other industries in the adoption of information technology. While precision agriculture provides a technological means for obtaining desirable goals such as product quality, labor cost, and product mix and market requirements, the dairy industry relies on semi-controlled environments. This paper describes the us...

From site-specific crop and soil information collected from a Missouri claypan soil field for over a decade (1993 to 2003), we implemented a precision agriculture system in 2004 with a goal of using site-specific management practices to improve farming profitability and conserve soil and water resources. The objectives of this study were to: 1) show how precision crop and soil information was u...
