Artificial Intelligence and Smart Agriculture: Technology and Applications
暫譯: 人工智慧與智慧農業：技術與應用

隨著科技持續滲透現代社會，農業開始採用數位計算和數據驅動的創新。這種「智慧」農業的興起促進了該領域的各種進步，包括自動化設備以及氣候、牲畜和植物數據的收集。隨著連接性和數據管理不斷革新農業產業，實證研究對於理解這些技術發展是必要的。本書探討了各種人工智慧技術的應用，通過識別和描述智慧農業和農業的技術性、功能性和非功能性未來技術。書中還提出了解決現實世界問題的實際應用機會，包括精準灌溉、溫室數據、牲畜監控、自動化、農業物聯網生態系統、雲計算、精準農業的移動機器人、遙感應用和數據挖掘等貢獻。此外，本書提供了有關不同無土技術的摘要資訊，如水耕、氣耕和魚菜共生等。本書特別適合農民、農業專家、產品經理、農場持有者、製造商、設備供應商、工業界人士、政府專業人員、研究人員、學者以及尋求當前農業和農業技術應用研究的學生。
