Nice to see you again!

FOODIE project has just entered in the last 6 months of its lifetime. This issue intends to keep you updated about the progress in pilot sites and technical activities. Scroll down and find out important dates to be saved in your agenda! Do not miss the last occasions to meet project partners!

PILOT EXECUTION PROGRESS

Spanish Pilot After ending the Proof-of-Concept and the Test stages, the Spanish Pilot is facing the Production stage which includes significant improvements on the FOODIE dashboard. Now it is highly customizable for each agricultural exploitation and it will count with a new bunch of widgets, pieces of advance visualization software for planning agricultural interventions and for supporting the decision making processes. Both CTIC and SERESCO have been currently working on the development of the new widgets and SERESCO has been also implementing the new services required by the new features of the dashboard. The most important new features incorporated are: Registration and Validation of Management Zones.

A Visual Interface for Yield Forecasting and

Recommendation of Dates for Harvesting.

Registration of Treatments and Treatment Plans.

Regarding the on-field activities in the TERRAS GAUDA vineyards, the harvesting has just finished and, although the yield is not very high, there are excellent prospects in quality. The workers

gather with extreme care the grapes, in order not to damage the product. We will soon have data about the yield production, which will be used for validating the grape yield forecasting model based on our machine learning algorithms. It will be very interesting for tuning the model and improve next predictions.

The last months of the FOODIE project are going to be focused in the validation process of the pilots, with the aim of drawing

Czech pilot Year 2016 is the last vegetation period of the Czech pilot farm in Trsice covered by FOODIE project. For this reason, the validation of satellite periodic monitoring and telematics of farm machinery has been started. A main effort of WIRELESSINFO team in Scenario C is focused on the evaluation of Yield potential zones within the field crops, which define the field variability from time-series satellite data. The evaluation is based on the comparison with the crop growth status identified during the vegetation period by Sentinel 2A and Landsat 8 imagery and available yield data recorded by agronomist. The results of evaluation will be presented in the final period of the project.

In Telematics of Farm Machinery scenario Wirelessinfo continued with integration of Management Zones (Yield Potential Zones) and data from machinery monitoring. As more farms have been added, which consequently resulted in increasing amount of data, it is necessary to focus on optimizing performance. German Pilot 35 machine cooperatives worked with WinGIS and more than 100 with mobGIS firstly on laptops and then using tablet-PCs on machines like harvesters and pickup. After the upgrade they also received training for two new tools that PROGIS will offer after the project end, in addition to the existing machine cooperatives. Moreover, the model for Precision Farming has been improved by: • Upgrading WinGIS as Windows 10 compatible version. • Launching Mobile GIS app on WinPhone (Windows mobile). • Open Transport Map (ATM) on OSM (Open Street Map) for a rural road network. • Sentinell II NDVI + SDK (Software Development Kit) for software-houses. • Developing a pattern recognition tool “IDIMA” (= IDentification of IMAges) ready by January 2017. • Gathering first test-results with Phablets (Tablets+smart phones+Windows 10) that will be available in the next weeks. Let’s focus on Open Transport Map, Sentinel II and NDVI and IDIMA – IDentification of IMAges description. Open Transport Map: the basic module has been done during the FOODIE project by WRLS as an upgrade to OSM, linked to WinGIS and enabled the possibility to setup a rural road map with precise attribute definition. It has to be maintained by an organization – e.g. Machine Cooperatives - that on a bottom up level also maintains the datasets, e.g. heavy rain and not to use today, or work on this road until a special date etc. Besides agriculture the same tool will be tested for further use in forestry. Sentinel II and NDVI: Further Sentinel 2 tool including NDVI index (worldwide use) is ready for use during November 2016 – February 2017 at all cooperatives interested to take part. They will use WinGIS, BING maps (JRC-certified) and Sentinel tools including NDVI for a period also after the end of FOODIE project. During the project lifetime PROGIS will get feedback about usability of the tools

IDIMA – IDentification of IMAges: Cooperatives will also get end of the year an IDIMA WinGIS enhancement for pattern recognition. The three modules are: (1) «RASTER» - carries out the processing and preparation of remote sensing data for calculations and creation of the classifier; (2) «IDIMA» – creates automatic structure (classification) of digital image and raster thematic layers of vegetation, with the direct participation of the Adjuster; (3) «VECTOR» - makes the vectorization of thematic layers and exporting to shape files.

Out of three sensors – R, G, B – (1) a new image is created with better “resolution” for interpretation. Then (2) the different structures are searched automatically and (3) put into different WinGIS layers and automatically digitized.

ΤΟ ΚΊΝΗΤΡΟ

Ο τομέας της γεωργίας αποτελεί στρατηγικά μοναδικό

τομέα που θα πρέπει ιδανικά να αποτελείται από ένα

δίκτυο αλληλοεπιδρώντων οργανισμών. Κατά την εκτέλεση

των γεωργικών δραστηριοτήτων, οι ενδιαφερόμενοι πρέπει

να διαχειρίζονται πολλές διαφορετικές και ετερογενείς

πηγές πληροφοριών, όπως:

• ορισμός πολιτικών,

• αποτίμηση των οικολογικών επιδόσεων,

• ανάπτυξη της γεωργίας, καλλιεργειών, ορισμός του

χρόνου και τιμολόγηση,

• ανίχνευση μάστιγας

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, το μέλλον των συστήματα διαχείρισης

γνώσης της γεωργίας θα πρέπει όχι μόνο να υποστηρίζει

την άμεση κερδοφορία της ή την προστασία του

περιβάλλοντος, αλλά πρέπει επίσης νασυνδυάσει και να

συντονίσει τις προσπάθειες και τις συμπεριφορές της

βιομηχανίας γεωργικών τροφίμων, τους καταναλωτές,

δημόσιων διοικήσεων και των ευρύτερων ενδιαφερόμενων

κοινοτήτων.

Το έργο αυτό συγχρηματοδοτείται από το πλαίσιο του προγράμματος

στήριξης της πολιτικής για τις ΤΠΕ (ICT PSP), ως μέρος του

προγράμματος πλαισίου ανταγωνιστικότητας και καινοτομίας από

την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή στο πλαίσιο της συμφωνίας επιχορήγησης

Νο. 621074

ΣΤΟΧΟΊ ΚΑΊΝΟΤΟΜΕΣ ΠΤΥΧΕΣ ΠΕΡΊΓΡΑΦΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΊΛΟΤΊΚΩΝ

Το έργο FOODIE στοχεύει:

• στην δημιουργία μιας ανοικτής και διαλειτουργικής

cloud πλατφόρμας, εξιδεικευμένη στη γεωργία για την

διαχείριση των χωρικών και μη χωρικών

δεδομένων που προέρχονται από ετερογενείς πηγές

• ενσωμάτωση των υφιστάμενων ανοιχτών

δεδομένων που σχετίζονται με τη γεωργία, πολύτιμη

πληροφορία για την Ευρώπη

• σύνδεση των δημοσιευμένων δεδομένων

με δεδομένα από εξωτερικές πηγές γεωργίας, μέσω

ηλεκτρονικών εφαρμογών (API)

• παροχή συγκεκριμένων και υψηλής αξίας

εφαρμογών και υπηρεσιών για την υποστήριξη και τον

προγραμματισμό των διαδικασιών και των λήψεων

αποφάσεων, των εμπλεκόμενων ομάδων

• παροχή μια ηλεκτρονικής αγοράς εταιρείες

μπορούν να ανακαλύψουν και να ανταλλάσσουν δεδομένα,

και να δημοσιεύουν τις δικές τους γεωργικές αίτησης με

βάση τα στοιχεία, τις υπηρεσίες και τις εφαρμογές που

παρέχονται από τους το FOODIE.

Το έργο FOODIE παρουσιάζει μια σειρά από καινοτόμες

πτυχές:

• Ανάπτυξη των βασικών και τυποποιημένων υπηρεσιών

σε Cloud εφαρμογές, μειώνοντας όχι μόνο το κόστους

ανάπτυξης αλλά και το κόστος παραγωγής και

συντήρησης

• Εύκολη δυνατότητα εντοπισμού των υπηρεσιών

• Μοντέλο “Pay as you go”

• Μηχανισμοί ανταμοιβής για την ανταλλαγή δεδομένων

• Οικονομικό όφελος για τον τελικό χρήστη

• Πολυ-συσκευή / πολλαπλών χρήσεων.

Το σενάριο του FOODIE και οι στόχοι θα υλοποιηθούν μέσα

από την πλατφόρμα υπηρεσιών, η οποία θα εφαρμοστεί σε

τρεις διαφορετικές πιλοτικές εφαρμογές στην Ευρώπη, τα

οποία θα έχουν ένα σύνολο από κοινές και ειδικές απαιτήσεις:

• Πιλοτικό 1: Ακρίβεια Αμπελουργίας (Ίσπανία)

επικεντρώνονται στην κατάλληλη διαχείριση και εγγενή

μεταβλητότητα των καλλιεργειών,

• Πιλοτικό 2: Στρατηγικές και Τακτικές Σχεδιασμού
