GeoAgSys 4D
GeoAgSys is an Agricultural based software system built on top of the NASA WorldWind SDK. It is currently in development.
GeoAgSys will rely on hardware systems such as GPS, Radio Telemetry, and Embedded controller systems to achieve geographic
based monitoring and remote control of on-farm systems including frost protection and precision irrigation.
This site is currently just a place holder and should be considered very preliminary. Contact information will be provided at a later date.
Planned Features as of 2008-05-04
Remote control and monitoring of wind machines for frost protection.
Real-time spatial interpolation of on-farm wireless sensor network data, disease and pest models
Real-time irrigation system scheduling based on spatially interpolated Evapotranspiration model
precision variable water/chemical application with individual nozzle control over a user defined application map.
Real-time monitoring of irrigation systems, realistic 3D models for linear, pivot, and fixed systems.
Asset tracking of fixed and mobile systems such as vehicles, monitoring equipment, sprayers, etc
Integrated online community networking for resource sharing of data to aid in regional decision making
Hi-Res aerial imagery and elevation data
3D Models for visual representation of assets
vehicle tracking, linear irrigation system
Real-time wireless RF telemetry systems collect information over large geographic regions
Real-time frost-protection monitoring and alarms via wireless RF telemetry systems
