Satellite Images Used in Iran for Smart Macromanagement of Cultivation of Strategic Products
“For the smart management of cultivation of strategic crops, we have on agenda the design and implementation of three under-development systems upon an order by the Iran Space Agency,” said Zahra Toufaninejad, the managing director of the company.
She said that one of these systems has been developed to monitor the cultivated areas and the rate of transpiration and evaporation of the rice product, noting, “Another system monitors the cultivated area of wheat, canola, corn and sugar beet by using satellite images.”
These systems will be provided to the Iranian Agricultural Ministry after being approved and finalized by the Space Agency.
Also earlier, Iranian knowledge-based companies used geomatics technology and satellite images to offer a solution for managing natural crises including forest fire, dust storms and floods.
The intelligent satellite image processing system which is called "SAHM" monitors the environmental phenomena all across the country and sends technical reports to users after processing satellite images based on artificial intelligence algorithms.
This system has been designed and produced by one of the knowledge-based companies with the support of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy and helps users in disaterous situations.
The system processes satellite images of "burning areas in forests and plains", "water areas of wetlands and lakes", "dust storms-hit areas", " oil pollution in the seas", "deforested areas", "exploring mines", "monitoring and intelligentization of agricultural fields", "prediction and relief efforts in floods-hit areas " etc. and sends the information and data to users who are usually organizations and people.
