Spatial Data Handling and Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Precision Crop Protection - the Challenge and Use of Heterogeneity

Abstract

Spatial data management and handling is very important in precision crop protection. Such data is collected by remote and proximal sensing. Additionally, soil, elevation, topographical, weather, management data is needed. Here, external data providers play an important role. Nowadays, farmers have to handle huge amount of data which is used for spatial decision support . Besides the farmer’s domain, we identified in this contribution, four important domains to develop spatial data management concepts: (I) spatial data service domain, (II) precision farming service domain, (III) spatial modeling and analysis domain, and (IV) communication and server domain. Considering communication and data flow between the domains, the design for a potential data management architecture for precision crop management is introduced.
