“Remote smart sensing in precision agriculture”

Pozivamo Vas na predavanje dr Zorana Stamenkovića u okviru IEEE seminara CO-16 na temu “Remote smart sensing in precision agriculture”.

Predavanje će biti održano u utorak 25. septembra 2018. godine u 14:15 časova u sali 301f, na MI SANU, Kneza Mihaila 36.

Sažetak predavanja:

Today’s agriculture is heavily reliant on technology. Nevertheless, many technological challenges remain to be addressed. One of these challenges is an accurate assessment of the actual status of plant health. Real-time assessment of crop health, in particular, would enable better and timely tactical decisions for crop health management. In the sensor domain, a significant improvement is expected by replacing the costly and cumbersome sampling and laboratory measurements with on-site measurements through wireless sensor networks.
A second challenge lies in mobilizing, exploiting, and interpreting data, in particular in the science and engineering of data analysis and information extraction. By combining real-time data obtained from multiple sources, including temperature, moisture, nitrogen concentration and multispectral imagery, we envision that data-driven techniques such as machine learning will enable farmers to anticipate plant health risks and to follow a demand-driven action plan including a reduction of pesticide use.
The lecture aims to address these challenges and a comprehensive decision support system (DSS) for plant protection. The DSS combines advances beyond the state of the art in three key areas for precision agriculture.
Specifically, it will focus on

1. Wireless sensor deployment including custom bio-integrated stretchable sensors,
2. Dynamic simulation models to assess crop loss caused by pests and diseases, and
3. Design and implementation of data-driven machine learning techniques for knowledge extraction and predictive modelling.
