Abstract

The digital revolution is driving agricultural systems and directly helping in decision-making. However, the unfriendly use and the lack of techonology for tomato crop monitoring dramatically marginalize the farmer. Remote sensing techniques with high-efficiency systems can overcome this challenge. Therefore, here the objective is to develop a open-source framework to monitor tomato cro growth dynamics (e.g., maturity and yield) upon remote sensing. To improve the system, multispectral images will be transmitted by a minicomputer and processed using cloud computing. Hence, the project will be conducted in two parts: (i) data-transmission dispositive development and validation (ii) develoment and validation of methods to monitor tomato crop using agronomic, climatic and spectral data and cloud computing. The framework will outperformed nowadays systems and it will be possible to define strategies towards less unpredictable crops. The results will be disruptive for remote sensing systems by improving the applicability and for the production chain by introducing tomato in the concept of digital agriculture.
