Abstract
Agriculture is an important part of India‘s economy and at present it is among the top two farm producers in the world. This sector provides approximately 52 percent of the total number of jobs available in India and contributes among 18.1 percent in GDP. Agriculture is the only means of living for almost two-thirds of the employed class in India. As being stated by the economic data of financial year 2006-07, agriculture has required 18 percent of India‘s GDP. The agriculture sector of India has occupied almost 43 percent of India‘s geographical area. Therefore agriculture is very important for a country like India. … [1]
There are many problems faced by farmers. Some of them are as follows
Irrigation: It is the artificial application of water to the land or soil. It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and re-vegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall.
Storage: The action or method of storing something for future use.
Attack of insects/pests: Any organism that damages crops, injuries or irritates livestock or man, or reduces the fertility of land. …[2]
In our project we concentrate on attack of insects/pests problem.
Nowadays pest monitoring is being done by manual inspection and by spraying pesticides. But the major problem caused by manual inspection is that they cannot monitor the crops 24/7 and also the problem caused by spraying pesticides is that due to the spraying of large quantity, the skin of the farmers is affected and also the consumers are affected by these spraying of pesticides.
Therefore we plan to automate the process of pest monitoring, detection and spraying pesticides only when required using video processing/ real time techniques.
