Implementation of user interface for data analysis

Abstract

This thesis was carried out in a context of a bigger project whose aim was to implement a system to control and improve the growth of plants. The purpose was to develop a user interface to enable the scientist to supervise the plant platform to analyze the data coming from the sensors. This data can be used to monitor the health of the plants and to improve their environmental conditions. The first aspect to take into consideration is to provide the user with an interface easy to understand, and for this purpose the interface has been implemented following the structure of a report. A sidebar allows users to add chapters to the report by selecting desired parameters. Through a form in the sidebar, they can specify the data they wish to analyze and their preferred analytical methods. In the main page the user can easily access all the analysis previously performed during the current report and visualize the results. The interface was implemented in Python to facilitate the development of tools for data analysis through the use of Python’s libraries specialized in this task. This first draft of the data analysis interface is functional for the basic analysis and can be further improved later on, considering the needs of the user and the type of data.
