Publication Entwicklung eines GIS-gestützten schlagbezogenen Führungsinformationssystems für die Zuckerwirtschaft(2005) Laudien, Rainer; Doluschitz, ReinerThe European Union aspires the GIS-based documentation of every agricultural area under cultivation from the year 2005 onwards. With this in mind, this thesis aims to design and develop a user-friendly Management Information System (MIS) for the sugar beet industry, which processes, visualizes, archives and documents geographical, remote sensing and attribute data. To meet the EU requirements the design of this "'Sugar beet Management Information System"' (SuMIS) is targeted at a GIS-based, modular, field-based approach which reflects the whole sugar beet supply chain. Therefore, the user of SuMIS will be able to geo-track and -trace every step from soil sampling to the beet delivery (fff = "from farm to factory"). By including and integrating GIS- and remote sensing data, SuMIS is a comprehensive System which can also be used as a Decision Support System within the Supply Chain Management. Due to the modular process-oriented design of SuMIS the potential of the system can be used by different users of the Supply Chain e.g. the field based documentation on the part of the farmer or the GIS-based decision making on the part of the sugar company. The design of SuMIS is based on the geo-datasets of two areas under investigation: Gemmingen/Kraichgau (area 1) and Plattling/Niederbayern (area 2). The dataset of area 1 represents the main part of the relational SuMIS geo-database and includes operational and external geo-data. The sugar beets in this area do not show plant diseases in general. Therefore, multi- and hyperspectral reflectance data of selected fields of area 2 is used to detect biotic growth-anomalies, general stress indicators and differences concerning plant vitalities and to create the respective spatial cognition. In order to collect the field data, a hyperspectral spectroradiometer (FieldSpec Handheld) is mounted stationary on a developed measurement device. This data is stored in a HTML-based spectral library. Besides that, multitemporal tractor- and airborne hyperspectral spectroradiometer measurements (GVIS, AVIS) are included to validate the ground based data. The reflection measurements are utilized to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy plants by using multispectral and hyperspectral vegetation indices. SuMIS includes new components which are developed and embedded by using the developer software "'Visual Basic"'. These are combined with existing functionalities in order to meet the EU GIS-requirements. Beside the functionalities which are used to analyze the hyperspectral data, two land-use classification methods are presented, applied and compared. Therefore, an object oriented (by using ERDAS Imagine® and a pixel based approach (by using eCognition) is employed to differentiate sugar beets from other crops in a simple and time efficient manner. QuickBird high resolution satellite form the basis for the accurate land use map. By applying the SuMIS functionalities and tools presented in this thesis, the users will be able to digitize their field data without any knowledge about GIS or geo-databases. Furthermore, storing and visualizing alphanumeric geodata is also possible by using these tools. Because of the information-specific structure of the geodata and its storage in several information layers, SuMIS is able to generate for instance mathematic calculations, clip-, merge- and join-procedures. This can be used for the spatial analysis or for creating new information layers. In this thesis such spatial GIS-results are shown in the context of a case study. The results of this case study indicate that the approaches developed lead to plausible results. Besides the description of the design of SuMIS and it's functionalities, the acceptance and survey of the expected individual benefits by potential selected users has been tested. Concerning the utility and value of SuMIS for the sugar beet industry, the functionalities are evaluated. The investigated results are discussed and perspectives for a broad application are described.
