Summary:In our increasingly environmentally conscious age, agriculture faces major new challenges in order to reduce its energy inputs, optimize the application of phytosanitary treatments, minimize its environmental impact and increase its production. Smart agriculture represents an inevitable trend in which ultrasonic sensors also play an important role. This paper presents parts of a smart mapping system for vineyards. As of now, the system contains 14 ultrasonic sensors, two accelerometer and gyroscope modules, one stepper motor and an Arduino MEGA 2560 development board. Its aim is to map several vineyard parameters: the system will allow the determination of the distribution and density of the vineyard foliage horizontally and vertically. This work concentrates on the detection mode of the system for the vineyard, future work will present data processing techniques for the optimization of the application of phytosanitary substances in the vine culture.
