VINO

The country’s wine sector is extremely important both for the development of the primary sector and for the recovery of the national economy, so strategic planning of Greek viticulture is essential.

Both industry and business stakeholders argue that there is plenty of room for improvement, and stress the importance of cultivating indigenous varieties and producing PDO and PGI wines, which currently account for 10% of wine production, as well as international cultivation. varieties are more difficult to make the country internationally competitive.

In order to contribute to this direction, the VINO project explores the feasibility of separating and mapping indigenous vine varieties necessary for the implementation of relevant EU Regulations and Directives, updating / updating the Vineyard Registry and supporting POP quality standards.

Specifically, in the context of VINO, utilizing the results of previous work, the capabilities of multispectral and superspectral data and UAVs are combined, and a methodology for the separation and mapping of indigenous varieties is developed, adapted to the specific conditions of the Greek vineyard.

OBJECTIVES

VINO exploits the capabilities of both spectral and multispectral data collected from a receiver mounted on a UAV, which UAV will automatically navigate through an algorithm developed within the project.

The main objectives of the project are:

• The development of a method for mapping the varieties of the Greek vineyard, utilizing UAV technologies, both spectral and multi-spectral remote sensing. This method can be used as a documentation and control tool as well as a management and planning tool.
• Improving the competitiveness of GEOTOPOS SA and its penetration into new markets.
• The transfer of scientific knowledge and know-how from CERTH research community to GEOTOPOS SA to enhance the scientific training of its human resources.
