Role of Data Visualization and Big Data Analytics in Smart Agriculture

Abstract

The role of emerging technologies has gained huge attention in recent years. With the advancements in sensor technologies, internet of things (IoT), and remote sensing, large amounts of data are being generated in agriculture. However, making sense of this data and extracting valuable information offers major/ important challenges. Data visualization techniques offer a solution by providing intuitive and interactive ways to represent complex agricultural data. Furthermore, big data analytics techniques enable the extraction of valuable information and patterns from large datasets, contributing to informed decision-making in smart agriculture. This chapter discusses the importance/benefits of data visualization and big data analytics in smart agriculture. It discusses various data sources in agriculture, including sensor technologies, IoT, and remote sensing. This work also provides an overview of the tools and technologies available for data visualization in smart agriculture, including data visualization software, etc., in detail.
