Goals, activities and expected results:
AI4RealAg is a research project, developed by the consortium composed of SISCOG, INIAV and BEYOND VISION, that aims to increase agricultural production and quality, ensuring a positive impact on agricultural and environmental sustainability.
The project aims to:
- Develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science models that, through the analysis of large volumes of data, enable to uncover hidden knowledge from data, such as patterns, trends and correlations, which support smarter decision-making, as well as preparation of forecasts;
- Develop a combined remote multispectral, thermal, 4K 360º and LiDAR sensing, through the exploration of increasingly larger drone payloads, in order to increase the quality of the data that feed AI and Data Science models, consequently, improving the quality of results produced by them.
The project addresses six topics:
- Characterization of the phenological states of cultures;
- Determination of cultural coefficients;
- Estimation of the intensity of water stress;
- Diagnosis of nutritional status;
- Health diagnosis for early detection of diseases; and
- Development of an advanced phenotyping platform.
It will be tested and validated in three agricultural sectors:
- Vineyard
- Olive groves
- Fruit trees orchards
