Towards improved Validation of Autonomous Systems for Smart Farming

SmartFarming Workshop was held as part of the CPS Week 2018, Porto - Portugal, April 10th - 13th, 2018.ENABLE-S3 is a use-case driven European research project focusing on the implementation and validation of autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS) in different application domains. This work describes the efforts done so far in the development of infrastructure and tools to make improved validation concepts in agriculture, being part of one of the thirteen use cases included in the project. Aspects related to communication, autonomous vehicles, hyperspectral images, image processing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and simulation environments are described. The combination and interaction of these key technologies give rise to social, economic and environmental implications with enormous benefits, increasing the quality of the crops and reducing efforts during their growth and harvesting.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
