Abstract:
Mediterranean countries have been facing severe droughts in recent years, leading to water restrictions for consumers and farm owners in the most affected areas. This situation has resulted in increased interest for investing in smart systems to monitor crops, aiming to reduce resource usage and improve crop quality. Existing sensor devices typically measure only a limited selection of physical parameters, such as soil moisture, air temperature, and relative humidity, among others. Furthermore, these devices are usually deployed in various parts of the fields and require different power sources. In this paper, we present a system that gathers data not only from physical sensors but also from cameras to implement computer vision models that enable the monitoring of aspects such as insect presence and plant diseases. These tasks are conceived within the AerOS framework. The system consists of a set of electronic devices designed and developed by ourselves, a heterogeneous wireless network for communication among all devices, and a server to manage the network, store the data, process it, and present it to users. All these components are housed in an anti-vandalism case and powered by a single power source, consisting of a solar panel and a battery. This integrated system expands the features of conventional agriculture monitoring systems.
