Abstract:
A method can include generating a feature vector based on image data and soil data, the image data of an image of the geographical region produced by an aerial vehicle, the image data representative of an attribute of the attributes of the soil or foliage, and the soil data indicating physical characteristics of soil of cells within the geographical region, producing a matrix including entries indicating how similar the cells are in terms of the image data and the soil data based on the feature vector, and producing based on the matrix, data indicating a cluster of clusters to which each cell of the cells belongs, each cell more similar to other cells of the cluster to which they belong than cells of other clusters, each cluster indicating a location at which to situate a sensor of the sensors to monitor the attribute.
