Knowledge DiscoveryGenerating Information by Constructing AgriBigData

Plants grow dynamically under changing environmental conditions. Therefore , time-series data such as plant growth and soil moisture should be collected simultaneously for the long term. Such time-series data can be analyzed as phenomena of complex systems, and the results enable objective evaluation and control in farm management and breeding. We will develop a method to construct agricultural big data (AgriBigData) automatically using our field monitoring technologies, or, sensor networks and drones. Additionally, we will develop methods on the AgriBigData to discover new knowledge, which can be applied for optimal farming and rapid breeding.
