| Description | The effectiveness of decision-making in agriculture domain can be improved by integrating current local environmental and agro monitoring with Geographic Information System (GIS) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). Effectiveness of any information system can be evaluated on the basis of its ability to deliver relevant, accurate, and timely information. Every sensor used for agricultural applications has a location, and a sensor location is almost always important. The spatial extension and near real time availability of sensor information layers in geospatial applications create a great potential. The Agrisensor project is evaluating the cartographic visualization methods and modelling of agricultural and metrological information acquired by WSN. Project is technologically based on Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) initiative proposed by Open Geospatial Consortia (OGC) and specifying the interoperability of sensor networks and geoinformation infrastructure. |
