pacu: Precision Agriculture Computational Utilities

Caio dos Santos & Fernando Miguez

2024-12-16

Introduction

This package is intended to provide a variety of functions that are commonly used when processing data that can be characterized as precision agriculture related. For instance, there are functions to download and process raw satellite images from Sentinel 2. These can be used to investigate spatial patterns within a given area of interest. The package also includes functions that download vegetation index statistics for a given period of time, without the need to download the raw images. These can be used to investigate the temporal variability of a vegetation index across the field, or between fields, for example. There are also functions to download and visualize weather data in a historical context. These can be used to explain temporal variability in crop yield or vegetation index values from between years, or fields. Lastly, the package also contains functions to process yield monitor data. These functions can build polygons around recorded data points, evaluate the overlap between polygons, clean yield data, and smooth yield maps.
