CITRIAFORO Operational Group: Use of new technologies for the correct estimation of citrus capacity

Description

Implement Agriculture 4.0 technologies and methods to estimate citrus yields from the plot level to the supra-regional level.

Objectives

Developing manual sampling technologies at plot level based on photography with mobile devices.
Implement automatic sampling technologies at the plot level based on sensors mounted on tractors.
Implement automatic sampling technologies at the plot level based on sensors embedded in drones.
Develop cloud-based capacity estimation models at the supra-plot level based on data fusion from the above sources, time series of agro-climatic data and satellite images.

Results

Mobile app for estimating fruit count at the tree level and protocol for standardizing the acquisition of gauging data using a mobile device.
Pre-industrial prototype of an image acquisition device for capacity prediction mounted on a tractor or land vehicle.
Protocol for the standardization of drone-based capacity data acquisition and a management platform for images acquired by land and air vehicles.
Supra-plot capacity prediction model based on the fusion of information from various sources and the implementation of a digital platform for estimating capacity at different levels.
