Abstract:
Sensors and Internet of Things systems have become quite important to support decision-making in agriculture. In such a context, smart farming has emerged as a new opportunity for food production based on a sustainable development concept, since the rational use of agricultural inputs is now a reality. One of these opportunities is the application of precision agriculture for weed control. This paper presents the characterization of an embedded stereo system using camera sensors, Internet of Things principles for computational intelligence tasks. For validation, it has been used the Modular Transfer Function concept, that is, taking into account not only the calibration of the sensors, but also of the 3D system, memory use and energy consumption for a long term operation. Furthermore, the results clarify details related to the implementation and construction of such a 3D system, which in fact aims to control invasive plants in agricultural crops.
