Data acquisition system used in precision agriculture for vegetation status monitoring - software subsystem

The paper presents the software concept of a data acquisition system used in vegetation status monitoring. The work focuses on finding a robust, adaptable and appropriate software architecture that can be used as a standard in the data capturing process in precision agriculture. A solution is proposed that provides a high degree of modularity and expandability, error management capabilities, a database management schema, and seamless integration with existing agricultural processes and an agriculture management system. A prototype was constructed as a concrete application of the proposed solution, and tests were made to validate the concept with respect to the formulated objectives.
