788.11J Presentation “sensors for Agriculture” Presented by Emad Felemban

The Main Idea Collects environmental conditions (temperature, sunlight, rain,etc) of the vineyard Recommends certain action based on the collected data “Lowering Production costs and raising quality”

The Main Achievements Make predictions about the likelihood of a disease (for example, powdery mildew) in different segment of the vineyard. Estimates the “Growing Degree Days” for the corps Estimates the frost damages to the corps

The Challenges Bridging the Gap between physical environment and digital data  studies the need and priorities of people working in the vineyard field Protecting sensor nodes from environmental condition while measuring accurate temperature Seasonal Requirements –Diverse system architecture –Diverse data collection methods –Self configuration of the network

Innovation Design for multiple perspectives on data, multiple access points, and varying levels of attention. Dynamic design (seasonal configuration) Interactive map that displayed information such as diseases, weather, vineyard activities, and grape ripeness.
