Book Content Description:
The world faces a tremendous challenge: producing more food for a growing population while also taking care of the environment. Sustainable agriculture entails the establishment of strategic partnerships, technological innovation, new ways to treat old problems, and assimilation of solutions from other knowledge areas such as healthcare and governance. These actions and
activities can mitigate several issues while reaching out to more farmers and the communities to which they belong.
Agriculture 4.0 describes significant trends facing agribusiness, including a greater focus on precision agriculture, the internet of things (IoT), and big data to drive greater business
efficiencies in the face of rising populations climate change.
Given the pandemic and previous problems in Latin America (LA), the amount of undernourished will increase considerably in the next 10 years. Since very little innovation has
taken place in LA to address food scarcity and hunger.
Meeting these challenges will require a combined effort by governments, investors, and R & D innovations. Agriculture 4.0 will no longer depend on applying water, fertilizers, and pesticides uniformly across entire fields. Instead, farmers will use the minimum quantities
required and target particular areas. Future farms, agricultural arrangements, agribusiness
operations will be very different. These paradigm changes are primarily due to the advancements in technology, e.g., sensors, actuators, devices, software packages, robots, aerial images, mapping areas, GPS usage, cloud computing, assessing the stage/vigor of crops, probing of
phytosanitary problems, and impacts due to drought/hail, crop planning, fertilizer spraying, and pesticides application. These advanced frameworks for precision agriculture must integrate robotic systems and human beings in a harmonious way to allow farms to be more profitable,
efficient, safe, humane, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

Computer Vision (CV) and Sensors play a decisive role in the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), but there exists a void when it comes to analysing the extent of their impact on the entire UAV system. In general, the fact that a UAV is a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is not taken into account. In this proposal, we propose to expand on earlier books covering the use of CV and sensing in UAVs. Among other things, an entirely autonomous UAV can help to (i) obtain information about the environment, (ii) work for an extended period of time without human interference, (iii) move either all or part of itself all over its operating location devoid of human help and (iv) stay away from dangerous situations for people and their possessions. A Vision System (VS) entails the way CV data will be utilized, the appropriate architecture for total avionics integration, the control interfaces, and the UAV operation. Since the VS core is its sensors and cameras, multi-sensor fusion, navigation, hazard detection, and ground correlation in real time are important operational aspects that can benefit from CV knowledge and technology. This book will aim to collect and shed some light on the existing information on CV software and hardware for UAVs as well as pinpoint aspects that need additional thinking. It will list standards and a set of prerequisites (or lack of them thereof) when it comes to CV deployment in UAVs. The issue of data fusion takes a centre place when the book explores ways to deal with sensor data and images as well as their integration and display. The best practices to fuse image and sensor information to enhance UAV performance by means of CV can greatly improve all aspects of the corresponding CPS. The CPS viewpoint can improve the way UAVs interact with the Internet of Things (IoT), use cloud computing, meet communications requirements, implement hardware/software paradigms necessary to handle video streaming, incorporate satellite data, and combine CV with Virtual/Augmented Realities.
VOLUME 2-DEPLOYMENT AND APPLICATIONS: This tome introduces procedures, standards, and prerequisites for the deployment of Computer Vision (CV) in UAVs from their application point of view. It discusses existing/desirable open source software tools, image banks, benchmarks, Quality of Experience (QoE), Quality of Service (QoS) and how CV can benefit from a Robot Operating System (ROS) in surveillance, remote sensing, inspection, maintenance and repair among other usages, while offering an assessment of current bottlenecks and trends. It will pave the road towards better studies on the necessity and viability of implementing collaborative environments for visualization, knowledge management and teleoperation of UAVs. This is planned to be the companion volume of Estrela, Hemanth, Saotome (Eds) / Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Volume 1-Control and Performance.

Nota1: Apólogos são como fábulas, mas os personagens são virtudes, sentimentos, etc.
Nota2: "Irmão X" é um pseudônimo do escritor Humberto de Campos. A família dele não só reconheceu o estilo literário psicografado, como exigiu direitos autorais, dai a mudança. Houve um processo bizarro na época!
• Aplicar as relações entre a matemática e a música na construção de significados educacionais;
• Reconhecer o enriquecimento, a importância da matemática na música;
• Associar a ciência exata com a arte musical; e
• Saber da existência da música que se tornou uma extensão da matemática.
