In the past two decades, computer vision and arti- ficial intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in delivering practical solutions to aid farmers directly in the fields, thereby contributing to the integration of advanced technology in pre- cision agriculture. However, extending these methods to diverse crops and broader applications, including low-resource situations, raises several concerns. Indeed, the adaptability of AI methods to new cases and domains is not always straightforward. Moreover, the dynamic global panorama requires a continuous adaptation and refinement of artificial intelligence models. In this position paper, we examine the current opportunities and challenges, and propose a new approach to address these issues, currently in the implementation phase at CNR-ISTI.

Abstract
In the past two decades, computer vision and arti- ficial intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in delivering practical solutions to aid farmers directly in the fields, thereby contributing to the integration of advanced technology in pre- cision agriculture. However, extending these methods to diverse crops and broader applications, including low-resource situations, raises several concerns. Indeed, the adaptability of AI methods to new cases and domains is not always straightforward. Moreover, the dynamic global panorama requires a continuous adaptation and refinement of artificial intelligence models. In this position paper, we examine the current opportunities and challenges, and propose a new approach to address these issues, currently in the implementation phase at CNR-ISTI.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
