The aim of this project is the identification of spatio-temporal patterns in geosensor data, which appear in the evolution of crops or plant diseases. This study examines and transfers the research into methodical problems which occur during the process of generating weed distribution maps in geoinformation systems (GIS) of. M. Backes (Backes 2005: Methodische Probleme bei der Erstellung von Unkrautverteilungskarten mit Geoinformationssystemen (GIS)).
This project is a cooperation inside the Research Training Group with Weed Science at Hohenheim University and Phytomedicine at Bonn University. Based on hyperspectral information for the identification of plant diseases or shape parameters for crop identification different methods of pattern recognition in the field of machine learning and curve fitting methods are used. First of all with data mining patterns in geosensor data are recognise and parameterise. Here especially data preprocessing, feature selection, curve fitting and methods of parameter estimation are used. Afterwards the detected patterns are upgraded through machine learning, where discrimination from classes is learned. Therefore training data is required. At least a classification based on Support Vector Machines, which is a part of learning, is carried out.
