IOT BASED CROP PROTECTION SYSTEM

The effect of insects in farmland has been very high in certain areas. The climatic changes even add to the woes of a farmer. Widespread adoption of chemical pesticides has resulted in unprecedented crop yields. The agriculture pest monitoring device is a moving bot or a line following bot which monitors the amount of pest in farmland. The image that is captured using camera module is processed using convolution neural network involving processes like image acquisition, preprocessing, gray scale conversion blurring, max pooling and using ReLU for faster training of dataset. It calculates and sends the amount of pest present in a particular crop and suggest the amount of pesticide to be sprayed.
