Purpose and goal
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** To provide a distributed platform for autonomous agricultural integration and "Cyber Physical Systems" working with agricultural management systems. Specifically for Termisk Systemteknik is our objective to develop new sensor systems for autonomous airborne crop monitoring, in order to enable precision growing of crops. We have successfully developed the sensor system and accompanying software that is required to do this, according to the plan.
Expected results and effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** * A new, light and inexpensive hyperspectral kamera. * Hardware and software interfaces for integrating thermal and hyperspectral cameras on drones. * Software and methods for analyzing hyperspectral image extraction adapted for precision agriculture. Vi have achieved all anticipated results. The camera has been continuously developed and tested in the project, together with the software needed to be able to use it. Integration on drones has been implemented and tested in several data collections.
Planned approach and implementation
In collaboration with European partners and users, we will develop the AFarCloud platform. The components are tested and demonstrated in local demonstrations in Sweden and once a year at joint project demonstrations. Termisk Systemteknik participates in several of the work packages, with large contributions in sensor development, environmental characterization, demonstrations and industrial utilization. The plan has been mostly followed. The exception is that we participated remotely in joint demonstrations, due to Covid-19. Good collaborations with other partners.
