Abstract It is very important for ranchers and grassland livestock management departments to master the information on the trajectory and feeding behavior of the herd timely and accurately. Therefore, this study developed a statistics and visualization platform for grazing trajectory. The platform was implemented by using the Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS framework and ArcGIS Online server. In particular, the trajectory processing service on the server was used to calculate walking speed, walking trajectory and feed intake of the herd in the platform. And these results were published to the ArcGIS Online server. The relevant information was analyzed and displayed by Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS calling the data on ArcGIS Online. Moreover, the paltform provided some visualization functions to support the visualization of user-defined analysis results. When users use the functions of spatial analysis (such as buffer analysis , finding hot pots analysis and interpolation point analysis), they can choose to analyze spatial data and related field information to conduct customized spatial data analysis. In a short, the platform realized the visualization functions of feed intake statistics, walking speed statistics, spatial analysis, line chart analysis and pie chart analysis of spatial data related attributes. It can provide technical support and data support for the relevant management departments to monitor grazing information and study the living habits of the herd. Keywords: GIS, Trajectory processing, Statistics, Visualization
Introduction Background
Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture. It has a very important impact on people’s life and socioeconomic development [1]. Grassland is an extremely important natural resource in the development of animal husbandry [2]. Rational use of grassland resources is related to the sustainable development of animal husbandry. However, most grassland has different degrees of grassland degradation [3]. Grassland degradation refers to the process of grassland ecosystem retrograde succession and productivity decline under unreasonable use. The phenomenon of grassland degradation is because humans continuously take a lot of material and energy from the grassland. The production speed of grassland is lower *Correspondence: wcj\[email protected] Geospatial Information Engineering Research Center, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, North Four Road, 832003 Shihezi, China 3 School of Internet, Anhui University, Feixi Road, 230039 Hefei, China Full list of author information is available at the end of the article 2
