Abstract:
In order to meet the precision agriculture needs that highly dense and overall farmland information is gathered, this system uses Visual Basic and Map-Objects to carry on integration of GPS, GIS and RS. On the one hand, the system can provide the space seat attribute of high precision for the spectral data gathered by way of integration GPS, and realizes integration in spectrum data gathering, orientation and storage. On the other hand, by way of integrated GIS, the system has realized the function of visualizing analysis and management of the spectrum data, displaying real-time trace of moving point, providing some related attribute of the moving point in map layers, and calculating crop derivative spectra and crop vegetation index NDVI etc. The sufficient information is put forward for expert system and decision support system of precision agriculture.
