Sensing Approaches for Precision Agriculture aims to bring together the ‘state of the art’ of the most popular sensing techniques and the current state of research of applications of sensors in Precision Agriculture (PA). This book gives a broad overview of sensing in PA and a coherent introduction for new professionals and research scientists. Chapters on specific topics and case studies will provide the depth and enable implementation of the methods by users. Readers will be introduced to the potential applications of a range of different sensors, how they should be used properly and their limitations for use in PA. Sensing is of great value in PA because it provides cheap and immediate data for management. A general introduction about sensing techniques in PA will be followed by Chapters 2–9 on the most important specific techniques in sensing and Chapters 10–13 will include mini-case studies, each to show cutting edge applications for different sensing methods. Finally, there will be an Epilogue on how we expect sensors and analysis to develop. weiterlesen
