DIAS aims at developing an integrated Automated surveillance system for saffron cultivation. This 24h real-time saffron cultivation surveillance system will rely on signal and image collecting and processing, which will derive from advanced surveillance, risk identification and early warning systems, based on integrated sensor networks, and aerial unmanned vehicles. The saffron cultivation is considered to be of extreme importance for the Western Macedonia citizens, due to the activity over saffron cultivation by a large number of citizens, the limited farming geography, the unique production process to plant the saffron seeds, and the unique production risk that this operation faces.
