First of all, the fuel consumption, machines and operators workload, control of performed treatments and the environmental effects such as reducing the risk of deterioration of soil physical properties. From a technical point of view the monitoring system involves tracking of the vehicles position using GPS combined with acquisition of information from on-board terminal (CAN-BUS, ISOBUS – ISO XML) and their online or offline transfer to GIS environment.</p> <p>Verification of the monitoring system will be done at medium-sized farm, where it will serve for an evaluation of tractors work during basic operation such as soil tillage, fertilization, sowing and application of pesticides.

A prerequisite is the identification of fields and tractor equipment for the accurate estimation of field job costs based on the fuel consumption and used and working time. An analysis of tractor passes with information about machine parameters allows evaluating compliance of working widths and operation speed, which are an indicator of the quality of field work. Simultaneously records of performed operations will be used in agronomic registration.</p> <p><strong>Evaluation of machinery</strong> passes on the soil environment. This includes detailed analysis of the tractor trajectories within the fields considering the site specific conditions. The aim is to estimate the negative effect of machine tracks on the soil environment (especially soil compaction) and compliance of agro-environmental limits (nitrates directive, GAEC, protection of water resources, etc.). An optional extension of this evaluation represents a connection of machinery tracking with the records of applied materials (fertilizers, pesticides) from the board computer to check the accuracy of the application of agrochemicals.</p> <p><strong>The registration for the challenges is open!</strong> Are you interested in extending current experiments available at <a href="https://www.agrihub.sk/en/home" target="_blank">Slovak Agrihub</a>?</p> <p><a class="btn btn-dark btn-lg text-3 font-weight-semibold px-4 py-3" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBsv2awD05L6q_4zxST9hR81ar8WxSnR7zfdf9VRfQLzITnQ/viewform" target="_blank">Register for this hackathon challenge</a></p>Petr Uhlíř2021-10-13T11:58:00ZAgrihub INSPIRE Hackathon: Challenge #6 Drones utilisation for crop protectionPetr Uhlířhttps://hub.plan4all.eu/c/blogs/find_entry?p_l_id=38583&entryId=2840922021-10-13T11:58:51Z2021-10-13T11:57:00Z<p>Good health and nutritional condition of crops as well as optimal physical, chemical and biological properties of soil are important features of the effects of certain environmentally friendly technologies and management efficiency in a crop production. Currently, the health’s diagnosis and nutritional condition of crops are mostly made on the basis of knowledge and experience of agronomists and long-term soil-climatic information about the particular production region. However, there is an absence of unified procedures and methodologies for reliable decision-making. Now, the high current research topic and in full compliance with the AgriHub CZ&SK scope is given at the time of development of information technologies and intelligent systems to support decision making. Focal orientation of the activity is aimed to evaluation of health status of the economically important agricultural crops and to evaluation of occurence of pests and diseases concentrations in the target crop and soil.</p> <p>At the present time, the farmers are using their subjective ratings for diagnosis of nutrition and health condition of crops, respectively advice from specialists or distributors of fertilizers and plant protection products. This diagnosis is inaccurate in many cases and leads farmers to wrong decisions with a negative impact to production and thus economic efficiency of the business. The current trends tell us that just two-dimensional optical systems and computer vision represent the direction that is heading toward the development of new innovative methods for identification and location of the specific objects. Wide range of possibilities of application of these technologies helps to its development and finds new ways of its use and implementation in agricultural machinery.</p> <p>On the one hand, visual detection and object recognition by using multispectral images is a very complex problem, but the farmer can respond to the current situation more variable where the situation is often and rapidly changing in the agricultural sector.</p> <p>On the other hand, it is possible to simultaneously monitor several areas because data processing can be made significantly more complex. The mapped areas can be analysed, identified and realisabled with 2D respectively with a 3D image processing system much more precisely as current existing sensor systems and methods. The factors of cost and productivity are added in the specific types of applications, for example mapping of agricultural areas or localizing specific objects which are globally positive (useful) for standardization of the entire detection and control system for decision support.</p> <p><strong>CHALLENGE GOAL:</strong> The main aim of the activity is to develop sensing methodology, a hardware and software solution being able to determine the coordinates of each region together with its geometrical dimensions in order to provide accurate information in the form of maps of areas with weeds, pests and diseases, or areas with low nutrient concentrations, using commercially available unmanned vehicles that will include specialized sensing devices. </p> <p>The proposed methodology for identifying problematic areas of a selected crop will result from the measured data, whether in an imagery form through specialized cameras, or from sensors. Consequently problematic areas in the crop will be identified and then the anticipated nature, extent and cause of damage will be determined. The system determines the coordinates, suggests procedures, methods and dosage and unmanned devices apply designated substances.</p> <p>The autonomous and independent sampling of plants for the thorough identification of weeds, diseases, or pests in a selected crop, and the collection of soil samples to determine the physico-chemical properties will be implemented in two forms:</p> <ul> <li>Higher crops – using commercially available unmanned vehicles complemented with a unique robotic device designed for the actual sampling, storage, and transfer of biological material;</li> <li>Lower crops – a mobile autonomous device will include a robot for the collection, storage, and transport of samples of soil and biological material.</li> </ul> <p>The (information) system to support decision-making in the field of the automated assessment of measured and collected data for the purpose of the precise application of chemicals to eliminate weeds, pests, and diseases in a crop or adding nutrients to the soil. The system for the decision support will include a mobile application which will provide the information on the precise localization for the application of chemicals based on created maps and GPS signals.</p> <p><strong>The registration for the challenges is open!</strong> Are you interested in extending current experiments available at <a href="https://www.agrihub.sk/en/home" target="_blank">Slovak Agrihub</a>?</p> <p><a class="btn btn-dark btn-lg text-3 font-weight-semibold px-4 py-3" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBsv2awD05L6q_4zxST9hR81ar8WxSnR7zfdf9VRfQLzITnQ/viewform" target="_blank">Register for this hackathon challenge</a></p>Petr Uhlíř2021-10-13T11:57:00ZAgrihub INSPIRE Hackathon: Challenge #5 Extreme weatherPetr Uhlířhttps://hub.plan4all.eu/c/blogs/find_entry?p_l_id=38583&entryId=2840672021-10-13T11:57:37Z2021-10-13T11:56:00Z<p>Recent advancement in predictive skill and spatio-temporal resolution of short-term forecasts as well as availability of seasonal weather forecasts can provide additional assets in crop management optimization and significantly contribute to reducing the negative impact of extreme weather.</p> <p>The main focus of this activity is to build dedicated downstream services based on Copernicus EMS (CEMS), Atmosphere (CAMS) and Climate Change (C3S). CEMS provides already free access to flood, forest fire and drought early warning and monitoring. Copernicus Atmosphere and Climate Change service holds freely available estimates of important climate indices for past, present and future climate conditions which could be exploited also in the domain of agriculture.

The input data should be stored and processed in WebGIS server platforms (GeoServer, PostGIS).</p> <p>As the farmers are pumping out the water from reservoir, the water storage is decreasing and the water level is descending. The water level elevation can be surveyed with existing prototype of ultrasonic sensor that stores the currently measured and calculated water level elevation in database and with the use of reservoir DEM we can calculate the current amount of water in reservoir.</p> <p>As the longer periods of droughts are presumed worldwide (climate change in progress), the amount of available irrigation water is crucial. If we would be able to incorporate the data from watershed (watershed terrain slopes, land use, soil types, etc.) and the prediction of precipitation (weather forecast), we can predict the amount of water that will flow to reservoir during drought period and during/after rain event. This would help the farmer to manage the usage of remaining water amount in reservoir by altering the uptake of water for irrigation.</p> <p>Provided data:</p> <ul> <li>Reservoir bottom DEM and Reservoir watershed DEM, Soil map – georeferenced GeoTIFF data</li> <li>Current water level – current value stored in the database – this will be only simulation of real operation as the water level sensor will not be deployed in real conditions</li> </ul> <p>Data to provide by participants:</p> <p>INSPIRE data suitable for rain forecast (optionally other meteorological data reqired for possible more precise hydrological models), Land use (e.g. CORINE dataset, Satellite imagery and its products) and so on.</p> <p>We are looking for participants that are familiar with GIS modelling and hydrology (surface runoff modelling) and Web/WebGIS coding (GeoServer, PostGIS, web map libraries such as Leaflet, OpenLayers).</p> <p><strong>The registration for the challenges is open!</strong> Are you interested in extending current experiments available at <a href="https://www.agrihub.sk/en/home" target="_blank">Slovak Agrihub</a>?</p> <p><a class="btn btn-dark btn-lg text-3 font-weight-semibold px-4 py-3" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBsv2awD05L6q_4zxST9hR81ar8WxSnR7zfdf9VRfQLzITnQ/viewform" target="_blank">Register for this hackathon challenge</a></p> <p><img data-fileentryid="842014" src="https://www.agrihub.cz/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c4_1.png/74465bc4-a954-c576-452d-72d1571b03cb?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 1: Elevation data of reservoir bottom and reservoir watersheshed</em></p> <p><img data-fileentryid="842022" src="https://www.agrihub.cz/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c4_2.png/25630b75-5ffa-80ad-9b7f-b843fb45b43c?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 2: WebGIS map of water reservoir – usable on computer or in the field with cellphone</em></p> <p><img data-fileentryid="842030" src="https://www.agrihub.cz/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c4_3.png/d18ffb49-8702-1b38-f0d5-fd49b429a342?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 3: Sensor and communication unit to provide the current water level elevation survey</em></p>Petr Uhlíř2021-10-13T11:54:00ZAgrihub INSPIRE Hackathon: Challenge #3 Agro Environmental ServicesPetr Uhlířhttps://hub.plan4all.eu/c/blogs/find_entry?p_l_id=38583&entryId=2840092021-10-13T11:54:49Z2021-10-13T11:53:00Z<p>This challenge will identify all data and information resources relevant for the agri-food sector and provide an unified access, including utilisation of Copernicus and INSPIRE initiatives, taking into the consideration progres in Open Data and eGoverment.

Their classification is one of the key themes of the common agricultural policy within the initiatives of the European Commission. Currently, data obtained from Remote Sensing (RS) are used to solve tasks related to the identification of the type of agricultural crops. and modern technologies in the issue of postprocessing of this kind of data sources. </p> <p>For detection of crops are usually used classification methods, which can be divided on:</p> <ul> <li>Supervised classification is the technique most often used for the quantitative analysis of remote sensing image data. At its core is the concept of segmenting the spectral domain into regions that can be associated with the ground cover classes of interest to a particular application. In practice those regions may sometimes</li> <li>In supervised classification the user or image analyst “supervises” the pixel classification process. The user specifies the various pixel values or spectral signatures that should be associated with each class. </li> </ul> <p>Image segmentation, which is defining directly object fields, can be considered as a more advanced method. Till now the method is working with Sentinel 2 and most of the solutions are working with data from one period.</p> <p>The approach, which started to be tested during previous INSPIRE Hackathons, is based on classification selected indexes across all seasons starting from winter till end of the season. Using multitemporal data increases accuracy of classification.</p> <p><img data-fileentryid="841859" src="https://hub.plan4all.eu/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c1_1.png/065ad069-c8fe-533b-c34a-984673c9f949?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 1: Supervised classification</em></p> <p>Another way, how can be increased accuracy of classification is to use unsupervised classification for preprocessing. Advantage of unsupervised classification is that division of objects is done not on training samples, but only on the base of phenological phase and spectral characteristics. During hackathons we started to prepare a method based on unsupervised classification. Disadvantage is that such image requires additional interpretation of classes.</p> <p><img data-fileentryid="841869" src="https://hub.plan4all.eu/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c1_2.png/5ecf2dca-b158-d729-c8bf-092bf05199ac?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 2: Unsupervised classification without interpretation</em></p> <p>The methods of unsupervised classification can be improved by segmentation algorithms.</p> <p><img data-fileentryid="841879" src="https://hub.plan4all.eu/documents/portlet_file_entry/20126/c1_3.png/170a89ba-f470-8133-7e60-ae24ce92eb1d?&imagePreview=1" /><br /> <em>Figure 3: Segmented Image</em></p> <p>For the interpretation, data could be combined with existing LPIS data, which can also increase accuracy of classification.

Developed web application integrating different types of data for agriculture was selected as a nominated project. The World Summit On The Information Society (WSIS) Prizes 2021 contest is organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).</p> <p>The nominated web application has been developed during the last 2 years as one of the Flagship Innovation Experiments (FIE) of the Horizon2020 SmartAgriHubs (SAH) project. The development team was an international consortium of Latvian Farmers Parliament (Zemnieku saeima, Riga), Latvian technological company BOSC (Baltic Open Solutions Center, Riga), Czech technological company Lesprojekt (Lesprojekt-služby s.r.o., Záryby), Czech Living Lab WirelessInfo (WIRELESSINFO, Litovel) and Swiss company meteoblue (meteoblue AG, Basel). Roles of the members are BOSC as main technology coordinator, Lesprojekt as analytical functionality developer and meteoblue as provider of meteorological and climatic data, Zemnieku saeima is responsible for stakeholder management, user requirements and dissemination.</p> <p>The project is called “<strong>FIE20: Groundwater and meteo sensors</strong>” and the solution integrates different kinds of data into one web map application that can be utilized by farmers, agronomists or advisory companies in agriculture. The web application integrates data from e.g. sensors on farm or fields (different sensors from various data providers and integrates in common data model of SensLog application), it provides available thematic spatial data (field blocks, protected zones, soil maps), regularly updated remote sensing data (optical or radar images from Copernicus Sentinel-1 or Sentinel-2 satellites and derived vegetation indices or soil moisture) and it provides also current weather forecast as well as historical climatic data for selected farm. The developed web application offers various analyses starting from recommendations for field interventions planning based on weather forecast or decision-making support based on EO and remote sensing data for vegetation status, yield productivity zones delimitation etc. The web application uses functionalities of Lesprojekt Cloud and it is a unique solution due to the integration of various data and functionalities in one complete application. </p> <p>The web application is hosted on the Digital Innovation Hub of the Farmers Parliament (<a href="https://groundwater.smartagro.lv/fie/index.html?lang=en" target="_blank">https://groundwater.smartagro.lv/fie/index.html?lang=en</a>) and utilizes analytical functions of the Czech FOODIE SmartAgrihub (www.agrihub.cz) and the whole infrastrukture of the Lesprojekt Cloud. The application was tested in Latvia primarily and testing in other countries is starting in these weeks. </p> <p>The application was selected to the 360 nominated projects from a total of 1270 proposals to the WSIS Prizes 2021 contest.
