Abstract

Background: Technology is constantly evolving with respect to production agriculture. Precision farming technologies have been increasingly recognized for their potential ability for improving agricultural productivity, reducing production cost, and minimizing damage to the environment.
Methods: The combined use of different sensors and the following analysis of the recorded data allowed to define an efficient technique for crop monitoring.
Results: We obtained the volume reconstruction of several plants and the NDVI mapping by exploiting the proposed technique.
Conclusion: Crop monitoring and yield forecasting play a major role in the agricultural context. Future work will be devoted to develop and use a customized index structure to increase the efficiency and to integrate in our knowledge base some geo referential data.
