Bridging data gaps in smart greenhouses: Outdoor-to-indoor mapping for synthetic climate forecasting

[EN] In order to make reliable forecasts of greenhouse climate variables, it is often necessary to have a long history of indoor sensor data, but newly constructed facilities often lack such records. In contrast, multi-year outdoor weather series are usually available. This paper introduces a two-st...

In contrast, multi-year outdoor weather series are usually available. This paper introduces a two-stage deep learning pipeline to address this data scarcity. First, outdoor-to-indoor mapping models are trained to translate outdoor measurements of temperature, humidity, and radiation into synthetic indoor series. Secondly, these synthetic indoor series are used to train prediction models, which are then compared with their counterparts trained with real indoor data. Experiments conducted on six greenhouses across four countries with six deep learning architectures demonstrate that synthetic indoor climate series, generated from weather records, can effectively substitute for missing sensor histories. This approach enables the rapid deployment of forecasting systems in data-limited greenhouses and provides a practical AIoT strategy to mitigate information gaps in precision agriculture.This work was supported by the SERGIoT project (CPP2023-010458) , funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 (Spain) and the European Union through FEDER; the SATRAI project (CIGE/2024/199), funded by the Conselleria de Educacion, Cultura, Universidades y Empleo (Generalitat Valenciana); and the AM-DS project (INREED/2024/1 and INREED/2024/7), funded by the Conselleria de Innovacion, Industria, Comercio y Turismo (Generalitat Valenciana) through the GVANEXT programme and the European Union through NextGenerationEU/PRTR.ElsevierDepartamento de Informática de Sistemas y ComputadoresEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería InformáticaGrupo de Redes de ComputadoresEuropean CommissionGeneralitat ValencianaAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónEuropean Regional Development FundRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20262026-06-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/234583reponame:RiuNet.
