Development of an Intelligent Monitoring System for Agricultural Machinery

In order to monitor the working states and working environment of agricultural machinery in real time, an intelligent monitoring system based on I.MX6 is developed in this paper. Through USB, CAN and RS485, the environment videos, positions and working states of agricultural machinery are collected. The working environment information and the depth of obstacles are obtained through Intel D4 VPU (vision processing unit). The monitoring datum and videos are transmitted to the cloud server through 3G/4G module. Experimental results show that the system can effectively monitor the working states of agricultural machinery, and can identify the working environment information and obstacles in real time.
