Agriculture cropland soil moisture information plays a significant role in the management of agricultural policy, food security, and food prices. For better utilizing and reusing the agricultural information and knowledge, US Departments of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) monitors US crop soil moisture condition using weekly field observations for counties in 45...
Geospatial web service of agricultural information has a wide variety of consumers. An operational agricultural service will receive considerable requests and process a huge amount of datasets each day. To ensure the service quality, many strategies have to be taken during developing and deploying agricultural information services. This paper presents a set of methods to build robust geospatial web...
The Remote Sensing Flood Crop Loss Assessment (RF-CLASS) is a system of geospatial Web services that provide comprehensive services to decision makers in assessing flood-induced crop loss. It serves a series of vector-based geospatial data. Traditionally, these data are visualized on the Web through a open Web Map Service (WMS) while the geospatial data are kept in either a geo-database or a vector-feature...
Agricultural drought greatly impacts the crop yield. Monitoring agricultural drought can deliver critical information to farmers on when, where and how much to irrigate. However, precisely monitoring which requires many kinds of data sources and data fusion and mining is still a huge challenge for scientists. In recent years, many data sources like remote sensed hyperspectral images are released online...
Statistics show the volume of Earth Observation (EO) data increases in the exponential level during the past decade. As the new generation computing platform to meet the big data challenge, cloud computing significantly facilitates the large-scale EO data processing depending on its powerful computing capability. In this paper, we propose a Cloud WPS architecture integrating the cloud computing environment...
WOFOST (WOrld FOod STudies) is a well-known, widely applied simulation model to analyze quantitatively the growth and production annual field crops that was originally developed for crops in European countries. It is the base model for Monitoring Agricultural ResourceS (MARS) Crop Growth Monitoring System (CGMS) in operational use for yield estimation in European Union. The model is of great potential...
Characterized by features of standards-based, platform-independent, portable, self-describing, and compact, GeoPackage, a new open format for geospatial information container, makes it much easier to manipulate geospatial data on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In this paper, we present a GeoPackage based mobile application implementing Common Map API on both Google MapsTM and OpenLayers...
GeoPackage, an open format for geospatial information, provides a gateway to bridge agricultural geographic information and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In this paper, we present a Cordova framework based GeoPackage mobile application to support field operations in agriculture. By implementing GeoPackage SDK on mobile application, GeoPackage files can be easily accessed, managed,...
