IoT-enabled Smart Farming with Intelligent Sensors

This issue is now closed for submissions.

Description

Recent developments in Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology have enabled a new paradigm of smart farming managing agricultural produce, land, and animals more effectively and efficiently. The most critical requirement in developing smart agriculture is the inclusion of “Things”-oriented sensor network systems, which require sensors with high integration, intelligence, ubiquitous connectivity, security, and energy independence. This is arguably more important than the use of “Internet”-oriented cloud computing with big data analysis.

This special issue seeks to make in-depth contributions to feasible solutions for “Thing”-oriented intelligent sensor systems, rather than “Internet”-oriented cloud-based systems. The focus is on the implementation of edge-based devices for producing, processing, and transferring a large amount of data which can be reliably utilized to interpret the past and predict the future, in order to make more timely or accurate decisions, both in sustainable/productive agriculture and in livestock applications.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Edge-based sensor systems in smart farming
  • Low energy machine-learning algorithms for edge-based sensors in smart farming
  • Energy harvesting (image) sensor systems in smart farming
  • Advanced image processing techniques and applications in smart farming
  • Emerging IoT-based sensor applications in smart farming
  • Sensing hardware platforms in smart farming
  • Security solutions for sensing hardware in smart farming
  • Energy efficient network-based analysis in smart farming
  • Low energy wireless connectivity solutions for smart farming (LoRa, NB-IoT, etc.)
  • Multimodal sensor integration in smart farming
  • Emerging sensing methods (hyperspectral imaging, compressed sensing, etc.)
