Smart rural IoT data acquisition and fusion

The aim of the project is to develop solutions demonstrating the effectiveness of the use of the Internet of Things in acquiring in situ measurement data from farming and forest lands without the need to build additional telecommunications infrastructure. The basis of the proposed solution will be intelligent wireless sensors placed in the ground and a small fixed wing UAV collecting data recorded by sensors through its on-board equipment. The plane flying along the route indicated by the homing signals sent by ground sensors will successively collect the in-situ recorded data. After reaching the landing site, the data is loaded into the computational cloud for further processing. The project assumes their analysis in terms of automatic extraction of features and fusion with data obtained by UAVs from other areas, satellite images of the Earth obtained from the Copernicus system and data obtained from weather websites. Thus processed data will be used by predictive systems implemented as two intelligent cloud services: one estimating the progres of vegetation processes and the crop yield (Polish partners) and another assessing the risk of forest fires (German partners). It is assumed that this goal will be achieved through the joint implementation of five stages: three stages of industrial research and two stages of development works. The project will open for Gdansk Tech a prospect of international R&D cooperation in the area of implementing its own IoT and machine learning solutions in the field of precision agriculture.

Automatic Cleaning of Time Series Data in Rural Internet of Things Ecosystems That Use Nomadic Gateways
Publication
- SENSORS - Year 2025
A serious limitation to the deployment of IoT solutions in rural areas may be the lack of available telecommunications infrastructure enabling the continuous collection of measurement data. A nomadic computing system, using a UAV carrying an on-board gateway, can handle this; it leads, however, to a number of technical challenges. One is the intermittent collection of data from ground sensors governed by weather conditions for...

- Year 2025
Vast spaces with inadequate telecommunications infrastructure pose a challenge to deploy IoT systems. A tech stack is proposed and implemented on TASKcloud at Gdansk Tech, based on widely available open-source technology components, making it possible to deploy various machine learning models developed on the cloud to constrained end devices, to make them capable of intelligently cleaning measurement data and optimizing their volume...
