Fast and accurate fruit classification is the greatest challenge faced by Agro-Industry. The available machineries are very costly. Machine learning/ Deep learning algorithms have already proven the results in may domain like healthcare, security etc. We can build low cost systems which will help farmers using deep leaning algorithms to classify the fruits with more accuracy and in less time. The classification can be done as per farmers/ industry requirements like Good or Bad Fruits or Ripe or Unripe Fruits etc. We can also create and published neat and clean image datasets and made them available which can be used by other researchers/ developers for training, testing and validating their models. We can also build the system for fruit detection, yield estimation, disease detection, and pesticide application using machine learning or deep learning algorithms. This will directly help farmers/ industries to increase their profit margins. IoT based systems will be also useful for farmers to get time-to-time information about their crops.
Agriculture plays an important role by contributing to the economy of India.75% of the population has agriculture as their major occupation and only source of income. There are various parts in the process of production where we need to pay more attention to the higher productivity of crops. Many farmers face loss in yields every year due to diseases affecting the crops. A fast and automated system to detect the diseases on crops in the early stage can be very helpful in such situations. Having such a vast variety of types of crops grown in India, The system can be train to identify numerous plant dieses present in crops, Our proposed system aims to develop an auto-guided drone that can take the images of crop leaves as input. These images will then be processed by applying Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to detect the diseases which are affecting the crops. This system will also help mark the most affected regions of fields. By using this system, we can increase the productivity of the crop. The said system is multipurpose and can be also used auto-guided drone which can lift 20 liters of pesticide to sprinkle over the field crops. It will take the input coordinated from the user and execute the complete operations.
Figure 2.Block Diagram of “Autonomous Agriculture Drone”
Fig.2. elaborates the complete setup for “Autonomous Agriculture Drone”. It has a Bluetooth connectivity / GPRS / Wi-Fi Connectivity according the field dimension. The web based user interface provided so as to run the control software from any platform. The web server connection used to store the data (coordinates, field dimension) and the task completed for future use. The standard RF remote controller is used to navigate robot manually in emergency case. A battery management module constantly monitors the battery health and estimate the charging required.
