Artificial Intelligence based Scarecrow Prevention from Crop Destruction

As a result of animal assaults crop destruction has become one of the foremost threats in decreasing the crop yield. Crop in farms is often damaged via local animals like buffalos, cows, goats, wild animals like bears, monkeys, wild pigs, elephants, etc. and many other birds like sparrows, crows, pigeons. These may cause serious damage to crops which in turn ends in large losses for the farmers. It is difficult for the field owners to build physical barriers to entire field and monitor it. The existing systems is mainly based on observation. Farmers take actions according to the animal that entered their filed. The other ways farmers use to prevent the crop destruction by virtue of animals include constructing barricades, electrical fences, and manual surveillance. Farmers also erect human puppets in middle of fields to ward off animals). When electrical fences are used, the electric shocks produce can be harmful to humans and animals that lead to deaths. AI (Artificial Intelligence) based Scarecrow protects the crops from wild animals with the help of scanning using camera, it detects the stray animals or birds. When it detects the stray animals or birds then it produces a sound of animal extermination. A program must be made with the help of live video for detecting object using YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once), coco names, cv2 modules. It ensures complete safety of crops from animals causing damage to it.
