Abstract
Agriculture Cyber-Physical System (A-CPS) is becoming increasingly important in enhancing crop quality and productivity by utilizing minimum cropland. This paper introduces the innovative idea of the Internet-of-Agro-Things (IoAT) with an explanation of the automatic detection of plant disease for the development of ACPS. Majority of the crops were infected by microbial diseases in conventional agriculture. Also, the constantly mutating pathogens cannot be known to the knowledge of the farmer, due to which, there arises a demand to develop a disease prediction system. To prevent this, we use a trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to perform an analysis of the crop image captured by a health maintenance system. The image capturing along with continuous sensing and intelligent automation is performed by the solar sensor node. The sensor node houses a developed soil moisture sensor which has a high longevity compared to its peers. A real time implementation of the proposed system is demonstrated using a solar sensor node with a camera module, a microcontroller and a smartphone application using which a farmer can monitor the field. The prototype was deployed for three months and has achieved a robust performance by remaining rust-free and sustaining the varied weather conditions. An accuracy of 99.24% is achieved by the proposed plant disease prediction framework.Funding Information
