Evaluation and Modelling of a Standard Based Spatial Data Infrastructure for Precision Farming

چکیده
Geospatial information is becoming available increasingly in digital representations and can be created and consumed with the help of various different devices and services. Due to the increasing application of precision farming techniques the importance of spatial information and their implementation has become a key issue in operation planning and application in agriculture. Within the ICT-agri funded project GeoWebAgri present precision farming workflows for geo-data handling and data exchange have been analysed. User groups in the precision farming domain, consisting of heterogeneous users like farmers and many others, have identified the benefits of the idea of precision agriculture. Nevertheless the current usage of those techniques is still inhibited by nonflexible, restricted and hard to use systems. Identified by a survey, the concept of a Spatial Data Infrastructure for Precision Farming applications (SDI-PF) was developed to particularly overcome the problems of geodata handling, because present Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) and precision farming tools fulfil the needs only partly. The information-intensive, location-related tasks of precision farming were analysed and decomposed. Following the concept of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) a conceptual model was developed using the Profile for GML application schema of the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The derived physical models can be used to exchange PF data in an infrastructure, based on a server-client communication, driven by web-services and the standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and International Standardization Organization (ISO). The approach was tested by modelling an exemplary application of precision weed control and made a positive outlook for the integration of tailored services into existing task controlling, as well as maintaining interoperability with ICT-infrastructures of close-by domains.

A spatial data infrastructure concept for precision farming tasks
The GeoWebAgri-project evaluates the use of spatial data in precision farming tasks. A service-oriented spatial data infrastructure working with standards could identified as optimal environment for the users’ needs. Using standards of OGC, ISO and W3C help to increase the functionality, usability and accessibility of spatial based applications in agriculture.
متن کاملA Comparison of Thin Plate and Spherical Splines with Multiple Regression
Thin plate and spherical splines are nonparametric methods suitable for spatial data analysis. Thin plate splines acquire efficient practical and high precision solutions in spatial interpolations. Two components in the model fitting is considered: spatial deviations of data and the model roughness. On the other hand, in parametric regression, the relationship between explanatory and response v...
متن کاملEvaluation of Updating Methods in Building Blocks Dataset
With the increasing use of spatial data in daily life, the production of this data from diverse information sources with different precision and scales has grown widely. Generating new data requires a great deal of time and money. Therefore, one solution is to reduce costs is to update the old data at different scales using new data (produced on a similar scale). One approach to updating data i...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Spatial Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models
In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...
متن کاملSpatial modelling of zonality elements based on compositional nature of geochemical data using geostatistical approach: a case study of Baghqloom area, Iran
Due to the existence of a constant sum of constraints, the geochemical data is presented as the compositional data that has a closed number system. A closed number system is a dataset that includes several variables. The summation value of variables is constant, being equal to one. By calculating the correlation coefficient of a closed number system and comparing it with an open number system, ...
