The trend towards a precise, numerical, and data-intensive agriculture brings forward the need to design and combine optimization techniques to obtain decision support methodologies that are efficient, interactive, robust and adaptable. In this paper, we consider the Differential Harvest Problem (DHP) in precision viticulture. To tackle this problem, we dedicated a specific column generation approach with enumeration techniques and a constraint programming model. Therefore, a set of simulated instances (which differ in field shape, zone shape, and size) was created to perform a parametric study on our different approaches. The specific column generation approach presented in this paper is preliminary work in the development path of more sophisticated resolution methods such as robust optimization and column generation/constraint programming hybridization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
