Abstract

Поступова зміна клімату та поширення немісцевих патогенів і шкідників є основними причинами все більшої загрози деградації лісів. Водночас, у зв'язку з обмеженням використання хімічних засобів, зростає актуальність біологічних методів моніторингу деревостанів і попередження деградації лісів. Основна мета проєкту – розробка інноваційного пристрою (так званий електронний ніс/ e-NOS) на основі широкосмугових електрохімічних датчиків та нейронних мереж, який би виявляв та аналізував сигнали запаху, скажімо, феромони певних видів комах. Прикладами патогенів і шкідників, охоплених проєктом, є Dendrolimus Pini (L.) та ооміцети Phytophthora.
Розроблена система надає вичерпні та комплексні дані, які дозволяють створити нейронний класифікатор за допомогою методів штучного інтелекту. Розроблено спеціальне програмне забезпечення для аналізу даних і створення бази даних – бібліотеки сигналів, які дозволять виявляти аналіти на місцевості. Для кожного із застосунків, передбачених проєктом (аналіз специфічних запахів), була створена спеціальна матриця датчиків.

Abstract

Fires in the Republic of Croatia are a big problem for forests, given that fire brigades have about 3.000 interventions per year. Average burned area per year is 14.278 ha of forest land. DetectIT provides information of the current situation in the forest area (level of temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide). Device secures fast information about the occurrence of a fire and provides all important data. Devices are located 100-300 meters away in the forest area and communicate with each other via radio waves. Communication between devices can reach even several kilometers so it is possible to cover very large area. Each device has one or more sensors. When the device receives an icreased concentration of flammable gas or smoke, it sends a signal to the other device about occurrence of a fire.

Currently, for sending notification about occurrence of fire, device uses 4G network. In the future for notification sending, it is planned to use the 5G network which can send notification in a shorter time period. Also, it is planed to spread the use of device i.e. setting device in households. Prototype of device is installed and tested on the forest area. Device is developed by high school students of Gymnasium Velika Gorica, Croatia. Group of students signed up on international competition and won 2nd place.

Abstract
Idag bygger tekniken för att identifiera granbarkborreangrepp i skogen till stor del på manuellt arbete genom visuella kontroller av skogsområden, där tidiga angrepp nästan är omöjliga att se, medan gamla attacker är lättare att upptäcka. Försök har gjorts för att identifiera tidiga angrepp med hjälp av satellitkartor som ger en bra indikation och kan ses som ett komplement till vår precisionsanalys. Arboair Forest Mapper är en tjänst där du analyserar dina bilder via vår AI. Vår modell är tränad på över 200 000 träd och den har verifierats av skogsförvaltare.

Abstract

Die „Festmeter Wöls GmbH“  bietet Vitalitätsanalysen in Hinblick auf Borkenkäfererkennung im Nadelwald an. Mit dem Trägersystemen Multikopter oder Leichtflugzeug werden Waldgrundstücke im Rastersystem überflogen und dabei mit einer Spezialkamera Luftbildaufnahmen gemacht, die später am Computer analysiert und ausgewertet werden. Durch die eingesetzte Technologie werden Vitalitätseinschränkungen sichtbar, man sieht Änderungen im Wassergehalt der Nadeln, nicht aber die genaue Ursache wie beispielsweise den Borkenkäfer selbst. Da aber Bildserien aus mindestens zwei zeitlich versetzten Flügen miteinander verglichen werden, können viele andere Ursachen wie Trockenstress ausgeschlossen werden, wodurch man dem Borkenkäfer sehr nahe auf die Spur kommt. In den Vitalitätsanalysen werden Initialbäume gezeigt wobei die Entscheidung über notwendige Maßnahmen erfolgt weiterhin durch das qualifizierte Vor-Ort Mitarbeiter.Eine 100%ige Trefferquote ist unmöglich. Das Ziel sollte sein, im Feld schneller und zielgerichteter agieren zu können. Langjährige Kunden berichten von positiven Trefferquoten von über 80 %.

Abstract

Postępujące zmiany klimatyczne oraz rozprzestrzenianie się nierodzimych gatunków są główną przyczyną rosnącego zagrożenia degradacji lasów spowodowanej przez różne patogeny i szkodniki. Jednocześnie, w związku z ograniczeniem stosowania środków chemicznych, zwiększa się znaczenie biologicznych metod ochrony i monitorowania drzewostanów. Głównym celem projektu jest rozwój innowacyjnego urządzenia (elektroniczny nos/e-NOS), opartego o szerokopasmowe czujniki elektrochemiczne i sieć neuronową, które wykrywa i analizuje sygnały zapachowe np. feromony wybranych gatunków owadów. Przykładami patogenów i szkodników branych pod uwagę przy rozwoju e-NOSa dla leśnictwa są Dendrolimus Pini (L.) and Phytophthora oomycetes.

Powstały system dostarcza kompleksowych i złożonych danych, które pozwalają na zbudowanie, za pomocą metod sztucznej inteligencji, klasyfikatora neuronów. Opracowane zostało oprogramowanie umożliwiające analizę danych i stworzenie bazy danych – biblioteki sygnałów, które umożliwiają wykrywanie poszukiwanych analitów w terenie. Dla każdej z aplikacji przewidzianej w projekcie (analizy specyficznych zapachów) stworzona została dedykowana matryca sensoryczna.

Abstract

Today, the technology for identifying bark beetle attacks in the forest is largely based on manual work through visual checks of forest areas, where early attacks are almost impossible to see, while old attacks are easier to detect. Attempts have been made to identify damage attacks using satellite radar maps which give a good indication and can be seen as a complementing part to our precision analysis. Arboair Forest Mapper is a service where you analyze your images via our AI. Our model is trained on over 200 000 trees and it is verified by forest managers.

Abstract

Scanner is under constant development. A measuring device, mounted at the towing hitch of a car. Sensors collect values, to assess the road quality of unpaved, single lane roads. The system consists of ultrasonic sensors to scan the cross section of a road segment, acceleration sensors to get information about the longitudinal roughness and a GPS sensor for locating the information. After data collection, an open configurable software bundle (implemented as GUI modules in iFOS) allows individual settings for the single sensor thresholds and algorithms to adopt the system to the own road maintenance concept. Mounted at the car of the forest ranger an easy and frequent data collection is possible and provides an early and objective knowledge about the constructional decline of road segments. Maintenance costs can  be reduced and reconstruction measures get execute mor accurate.  A logical data interpretation of the sensor values is possible. The assignment of the sensors towards different decay expressions on the road surface was conducted and semi- automatically related to road quality segment classification. Results show, that a single manual optical assessment of road segments miss first phases of road decay and underlines the potential of such systems. Tests and calibrations of the road-scanner allows a good data interpretation for the set task. Many degrees of freedom of the scanner and the data interpretation still leaves some open research questions.
