Modern Technologies

Innovation is an important one in contemporary agricultural sector than ever before. Contemporary farming and agricultural activities work another way than those a few years ago, principally because of progressions in the science and technology, with sensors, devices, equipments, machines, and information technology. This sector, as a whole is facing huge confronts, from increasing costs of inputs, a scarcity of workers, and changing consumers’ preferences for lucidity and sustainability. There is mounting importance from agricultural corporations that solutions are desirable for these confronts. As a consequence recent agricultural sector habitually uses classy technologies like robotics, sensors for measuring temperature and moisture, aerial images, and global positioning system technology. In the last 10 years, application scientific technologies in the agricultural sector has witnessed a increment in the investment worth of 6.7 billion USD endowed in the last five years and attracted 1.9 billion USD in the last one year alone. These modern technologies and accurate modern agricultural and robotic systems permit businesses to be more gainful, competent, safer, and more eco friendly. Further these modern technologies have paying attention around different areas such as interior vertical farming, computerization and robotics, livestock rearing technology, up to date greenhouse farming practices, exactitude agricultural and artificial intelligence, and blockchain. With this backdrop the present paper made an attempt to explain applications of the science and technology in the modern agricultural sector.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) rely on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) like the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation but GNSS signals can be easily jammed. Therefore, we propose a visual localization method that uses a camera and data from Open Street Maps in order to replace GNSS. First, the aerial imagery from the onboard camera is translated into a map-like representation. Then we match it with a reference map to infer the vehicle’s position. An experiment over a typical sized mission area shows localization accuracy close to commercial GPS. Compared to previous methods ours is applicable to a broader range of scenarios. It can incorporate multiple types of landmarks like roads and buildings and it outputs absolute positions with higher frequency and confidence and can be used at altitudes typical for commercial UAVs. Our results show that the proposed method can serve as a backup to GNSS systems where suitable landmarks are available.</p>

Player Detection

In the fields of professional and amateur sports, players’ health, physical and physiological conditions during exercise should be properly monitored and managed. The authors of this paper previously proposed a real-time vital-sign monitoring system for players using a wireless multi-hop sensor network that transmits their vital data. However, existing routing schemes based on the received signal strength indicator or global positioning system do not work well, because of the high speeds and the density of sensor nodes attached to players. To solve this problem, we proposed a novel scheme, image-assisted routing (IAR), which estimates the locations of sensor nodes using images captured from cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles. However, it is not clear where the best viewpoints are for aerial player detection. In this study, the authors investigated detection accuracy from several viewpoints using an aerial-image dataset generated with computer graphics. Experimental results show that the detection accuracy was best when the viewpoints were slightly distant from just above the center of the field. In the best case, the detection accuracy was very good: 0.005524 miss rate at 0.01 false positive-per-image. These results are informative for player detection using aerial images and can facilitate to realize IAR.

Tracking Objects

Tracking systems of moving objects provide a useful means to better control, manage and secure them. Tracking systems are used in different scales of applications such as indoors, outdoors and even used to track vehicles, ships and air planes moving over the globe. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system for tracking objects moving over a wide geographical area. The system depends on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies without requiring the Internet service. The implemented system uses the freely available GPS service to determine the position of the moving objects. The tests of the implemented system in different regions and conditions show that the maximum uncertainty in the obtained positions is a circle with radius of about 16 m, which is an acceptable result for tracking the movement of objects in wide and open environments.

Global Positioning

Seiring dengan pesatnya kemajuan teknologi saat ini, kebutuhan manusia menjadi lebih beragam, termasuk kebutuhan akan informasi. Tidak hanya media informasinya yang semakin beragam, jenis informasi yang dibutuhkan juga semakin beragam, salah satunya adalah kebutuhan informasi akan posisi kita terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan itu sebuah sistem pemosisi diciptakan. Sistem pemosisi yang banyak digunakan saat ini cenderung berfokus pada lingkup ruang yang besar (global) padahal, dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) sebuah sistem pemosisi juga diperlukan, seperti di ruang-ruang terbuka umum (taman atau kebun), ataupun dalam sebuah bangunan. Sistem pemosisi lokal yang ada saat ini sering kali membutuhkan infrastruktur yang mahal dalam pembangunannya. Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal Berbasis Android dengan Menggunakan GPS ini adalah sebuah aplikasi yang dibangun untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna akan informasi lokasi dan posisi mereka terhadap lingkungan di sekitarnya dalam lingkup ruang yang lebih kecil (lokal) dengan memanfaatkan perangkat GPS (Global Positioning System) yang telah tertanam dalam perangkat smartphone Android agar infrastruktur yang dibutuhkan lebih efisien. Dalam implementasinya, Aplikasi Pemosisi Lokal ini bertindak sebagai klien dengan dukungan sebuah Database Server yang berfungsi sebagai media penyimpanan data serta sumber referensi informasi yang dapat diakses melalui jaringan internet sehingga tercipta sebuah sistem yang terintegrasi secara global. Kata kunci: aplikasi, informasi, pemosisi, GPS.

This paper examines the distribution of hospitality services in Uyo Urban, Nigeria. GIS method was the primary tool used for data collection. A global positioning system (GPS) Garmin 60 model was used in tracking the location of 102 hospitality services in the study area. One hypothesis was stated and tested using the nearest neighbour analysis. The finding shows evidence of clustering of the various hospitality services. The tested hypothesis further indicated that hospitality services clustered in areas that guarantee a sustainable level of patronage to maximize profit. Thus, the hospitality services clustered in selected streets in the metropolis while limited numbers were found outside the city’s central area.
