METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING A PEST FORECAST

A method for performing a pest forecast, comprising: at a plurality of traps (1), capturing data (10) comprising: pictures of trap contents and associated metadata captured for a certain period of time (10a) and other data (10b) comprising GPS coordinates of the respective trap; and sending said data (10, 10a, 10b) through communication means to a remote end (2) located in the cloud; from the pictures of trap contents and associated metadata (10a) captured at each trap (1), applying a visual processing and learning stage (21) comprising applying a predictive model (22) for estimating a number of identified insects (31) in each trap (1) for said certain period of time; preprocessing (25) at least said estimated number of identified insects (31) in each trap (1), said metadata and said other data (10b), said preprocessing (25) comprising applying machine learning techniques; storing the preprocessed data (32) in data storage means (27), thus keeping historical data along time; from the recently preprocessed data (32) and the historical data, applying decision making algorithms (26) for performing a pest forecast (33) for each trap (1) for the next N days.
