Agricultural Services Management and Planning Platform

Objective

Development of a non-intrusive web platform for monitoring and analyzing the status of crops (Tomato and Potato), designed to identify, monitor and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases. The project uses drones, equipped with sensors to carry out inspections and report measurements on the evolution of the state of the culture, as well as the use of data analysis techniques, complemented with learning algorithms and augmented reality techniques.

Impact

The platform will allow the farmer to have an integrated view on the state of the crop, including accurate information on the action plan to mitigate the risk of the incidence of pests and diseases.

INOV participation

INOV, the project’s technical coordinator, is responsible for implementing the hyperspectral analysis methods, using Artificial Intelligence techniques (namely Machine Learning and Deep Learning). It is also responsible for the development of the web platform based on Analytic-as-a-service (AaaS), which integrates multiple technologies for the provision of monitoring services in a non-intrusive way.
