For instance, the intervention thresholds are essential to counteract a given insect pest infestation in a specific field in the best moment, optimizing the control strategy and the grower inputs on that crop. Within the integrated pest management programs in agriculture, the final goal of insect pest monitoring is to provide growers with a practical decision-making tool. Insect pest monitoring is typically performed in agriculture and forestry to assess the pest status in given locations (i.e., greenhouse, field, orchard/vineyard, forest) by collecting information about the target pest presence, abundance, and distribution. Limits and benefits resulting from several case studies are examined with a perspective for the future development of technology-driven insect pest monitoring and management. The actual limitations are the high cost, the low power autonomy and the low picture quality of some prototypes together with the need for further improvements in fully automated pest detection. The availability of real-time and on-line pest monitoring systems from a distant location opens the opportunity for measuring insect population dynamics constantly and simultaneously in a large number of traps with a limited human labor requirement. Considering the high image resolution achievable and the opportunity to exploit data transfer systems through wireless technology, it is possible to have remote control of insect captures, limiting field visits.

The use of software and image recognition algorithms can support automatic trap usage to identify and/or count insect species from pictures. The purpose of this review is to summarize the progress made on automatic traps with a particular focus on camera-equipped traps. The adoption of image sensors to monitor insect pests can result in several practical advantages. This strategy requires high labor cost and provides poor spatial and temporal resolution achievable by single operators.

The classic monitoring approach of insect pests is based on placing in single infested areas a series of traps that are checked by human operators on a temporal basis. Integrated pest management relies on insect pest monitoring to support the decision of counteracting a given level of infestation and to select the adequate control method.
