Abstract

In this work we propose a software platform for the collection, visualization, management and analysis of heterogeneous and multisource data for soil characteristics estimation. The platform is designed in such a way that it can easily handle proximity, airborne and spaceborne data and provides to the final user all the tools and proper visualizations to perform precision agriculture. The proposed software allows an easy integration of new data (that can be performed directly on-board of the acquisition device) and the possibility to add custom predictive systems for soil characteristic estimation. Usability experiments show that the platform is easy to use and effective.
