Automatic Monitoring as a Tool for Collection of Information on Fitophenological Cycle

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8500))

Abstract

Study of cyclical biological phenomena influenced by the environment, weather and climate conditions is called phenology. Source of scientific phenological data comes from continuous observations. Performing observations by scientists is often unfeasible due to time and physical constraints. Automated Monitoring project aims at providing users with remote access to elements installed in the observation site: weather monitoring sensors and camera mounted on a turn-plate. User portal allows phenology scientists to choose monitored scenes, schedule repeatable data collection tasks and providing useful description of observed plants and current phenology phase. Other portal components allow to view charts as well as to export weather data and collected phenology photos.
