According to the Communication and Information Technology Research Institute; While announcing this news, Dr. Mohammad Shahram Moin, the head of the Artificial Ielligence Developme Ceer of the ICT Research Institute, stated: Considering the importance of the issue of food security and the coury’s need for accurate statistics and information on the amou of cultivated area of agricultural crops in the advanceme of the coury’s major plans, a project titled ” The estimation of the cultivated area of two crops, potato and alfalfa, using remote sensing and artificial ielligence” was implemeed in the artificial ielligence developme ceer of the Research Institute of Communication and Information Technology.
He added: In this project, the role of artificial ielligence algorithms along with the use of ground and satellite data is very special and significa. In the meioned project, two cities of Hamedan and Bahar were selected as study areas for potato production and four provinces of Hamadan, Markazi, Qazvin and Lorestan were selected as study areas for alfalfa production. To separate these two products from other products, several spectral-temporal indices based on remote sensing data were proposed and developed.
Moein added: In order to distinguish these two products from other products, several spectral and temporal indices based on remote sensing data were proposed and developed, which are based on the study of the growth pattern of the two meioned crops during the crop year and its effect on the reflectance changes in Differe bands of satellite images are calculated.
Referring to the success of this project, the head of the Artificial Ielligence Developme Ceer of the ICT Research Institute said: Considering the positive feedback of the users and the determination of 12 strategic products in the coury by the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad and the need to determine the level of their cultivation with modern technologies, the Artificial Ielligence Developme Ceer The developme of the dimensions of projects of this type was pushed as much as possible.
In relation to the future plans and cooperation of the Artificial Ielligence Developme Ceer of the ICT Research Institute and the Ministry of Jihad and Agriculture, he stated: In this regard, the estimation of the cultivated area of 6 products out of 12 strategic products determined by Jihad Agriculture, which includes rapeseed, potato, alfalfa, tomato, It is onions and beets, in a new project using artificial ielligence and remote sensing with a 3-year vision for the whole coury is being planned.
