Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a more and more important role in modern agriculture development. However, problems of efficient storing and reasoning those massive heterogeneous sensor data collected from variety kinds of sensing equipment need to be resolved to implement Internet of Things in agriculture. This paper explores the architecture of Internet of Things in agriculture with heterogeneous sensor data, and proposes a design of implementation to Internet of Things in agriculture based on cloud computing. The design is based on two-tier storage structure of HBase, which is a distributed database with high scalability. It access database using MapReduce model, a distributed programming framework. Hence, this design provides scalable storage, efficient data access, and eases other processing of sensor data.
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.
