Precision Farming - Agricultural and forest monitoring

AIMS/APPLICATIONS

TERRASYSTEM suggests solutions to every organizations that are employed in the management of the natural environment and of the agricultural resources with a complete set of products and services that integrate the traditional systems of survey with methodologies featuring high technological content, based on aerial and satellite remote sensing and on the GIS.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

Winegrowing
Fruit arboriculture
Grain farming

ADDRESEE

Agricultural and food, forest Research Institutes
Agroindustry
Organizations of producers
Local Governments and Professional studies

The solutions are applied to:

Monitoring of the agricoltural productions and of the quality of the crops (precision farming)
Identifying of the crops, counting of the plants
Identifying and mapping of demaged areas
Identifying and mapping of forest phytopathologies (areali o a livello di singole piante)
Monitoring of biotic and abiotic stress
Mapping of structural and biometric features of woodlands

METHODOLOGIES

Aerial and satellite remote sensing
TERRASYSTEM processes and uses data from both aerial and satellite remote sensing, having the necessary software for the geometric and radiometric correction for every platform and for the classification of the images by hard and soft parametric models and non-parametric (neural net).
TERRASYSTEM acquires and processes by its own systems very high resolution images by aerial sensors designed ad hoc for agro-forest applications (DFR and ASPIS systems), installed on versatile and cheap aerial platforms .
Our systems allow surveys both at a regional and at a local scale, reaching the detail required by the most demanding applications, both in terms of spatial and temporal resolution, such as precision farming and the survey of forest pathologies up to the detail of the single foliage.

Multispectral remote sensing for precision viticulture

GIS
The remote sensing data and the ones retrieved from traditional systems of survey are the input for the analysis in GIS environment, carried out by advanced hardware and software tools.

Processing of indexes and forecast models(production, quality etc.)
Spatial and multitemporal analysis

Statistic analysis
Statistic analysis of historical series of georeferenced environmental data, obtained by multispectral and multitemporal remote sensing, acquired by field activity and/or coming from meteo stations, allows to spot and to isolate the factors correlated with the studied phenomenons.
Going into more depth study, it is possible to get to a modelling by mean of regressive tecniques and neural net, with the return of the spatial and temporal output.

Web-GIS of an integrated system for the forecast of the production

PRODUCTS

Offered products go from the simple pre-processing of the captured data to complete systems for the supply of a geographic information system.
TERRASYSTEM implements Web-GIS applications that allow to manage and share the service through the internet, taking care of the installation and of the maintenance in a dedicated server.
