SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED PHENOLOGY ANALYSIS

摘要

A system for automated phenology analysis is described comprising an insect detection module configured to detect and generate insect data relating to insects within a detection area; a plurality of sensors and/or sources configured to detect or receive contextual data regarding current and/or future environmental conditions and data representing an analysis model of the lifecycle stages of at least one target insect species, the analysis model being based on and/or having inputs including data relating to a phenology model of the at least one target insect species and either or both of the contextual data and the insect data, the model predicting the future lifecycle stages of the at least one target insect species; and wherein based on the analysis model, a course of action is performable. The system is, particularly, suitable for the automated control of insect species taking into account environmental conditions, in the form of contextual data, and by capturing insect data in a particular area, such as a trap.
