The project aims to build a Geodatabase of Fodder farms at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to have a live statistics and analysis of the activities.
The project consists of two phases as following:
- Phase1, targeted to build a map for Fodder farms. It started by using Satellite Images to create a geodatabase of existing fodder farms among several seasons. The system uses more than 2750 images. After processing the images, several algorithms used to analyze and distinguish Fodders from other crops; then the obtained model applied on all other images. The final step was to use a Geographical Information System tools to establish geodatabase from the available information. Hence, in this phase a custom map of Saudi Arabia was built to visualize Fodders farms to be used by the government agency.
- Phase 2, aimed to collect information from Fodder farms’ owners. Where the system used to register all farmers information including the owner information, the farm legal reports and farm’s geo-location. Then the farm gets visualized directly on the map to be validated by the farm’s owner.
Therefore, the project now is capable of:
- Analyze data and provide statistical information about changes of fodder farms over five years since 2015
- Provide detailed information about each fodder farm in Saudi Arabia: farmer information, farm area, crops..etc
- Control Fodder agriculture and provide Fodder license
- Enable an e-gateway for other logistic sectors to provide their services according the size and the type of the farm.
