GTA on organic potato

Note:
The development of the agricultural indicators and the technological choices inherent in its establishment as well as the physical structure in terms of models building are presented here for information only !


Présentation:
The system is based on the concept of a Spatial Reference Information System (Système d'Information à Références Spatiales - S.I.R.S.). Within the framework of the installation of the local GIS GTA, it will be a question of constituting two particular types of database management system. The system by tables structure has priority in the establishment because it will guide the development by handling the necessary geometrical entities.

The emitted proposals that treat the indicators in a local mode and transmit the data in a buffer zone in order to gather them seems a little bit difficult for us to establish taking into account the desired quality of the analyses and the different controls that it requires.

It is envisaged to make processings on the geometrical data by a method of topological analysis which uses the selection technique that is impossible if the data are gathered on the same system.

The data calibration and their topological and geometrical conformity are priorities to ensure a high level of quality of the space analyses and we cannot entrust this task to several distant systems without deteriorating way criticizes the quality of the analyses.


Description of analysis
To know and to quantify the value of the indicator, it is necessary to allot three to its significant characteristics:

   Value (IQD) - > Quality of the Data Index (Index de Qualité de Donnée)
   Value (IQH) - > Quality of Assumption Index (Index de Qualité
   Value (IQA) - > Legal Quality Index



The program reviews each polygons and their attributes. A qualitative and quantitative value is then generated in order to characterize each cultivable plot of land.

For each agricultural plot of land a data base is attached in order to make the analysis polygon by polygon. This information is read and interpreted in order to allot the corresponding numerical value has its degree of tolerance for the selected indicator.

In the following graph information of the pedological chart is included which is attached to each unit or cultivable plot of land.

Once the data are structured according a precise order, the program generates a residual database used to regenerate a general classification.





Each time the program finds a polygon, it characterizes it by applying the following directives. If my polygon with the following descriptive characteristic it will obtain the following values:

  Classified ground is the content of pH according to the rule

Once the treatment carried out, we obtain a series of values for each polygons with which we can regenerate a final classification to generate new zones which characterize the best places to cultivate bio potatoes. The piece colored in green represents the polygon in treatment, the zone colored in red is a selection of the close pieces to check the types of culture which are practised there, and weaves it white stripes indicates the transfer of information in the green polygon of color.
