Introduction
IoT is the hot new thing in the field of Information Technology and is having a transformative effect on many areas. From healthcare to manufacturing, from home automation to personal devices we see its application in myriad fields. It is also having a deep impact on the field of agriculture allowing for precision farming and control over different aspect of food production. IoT is being coupled with artificial intelligence which has created even more of an impact.
In the Department of Computer Science, we thought why dont we try and do something in this area. It would be a good initiative to involve students and expose them to the latest technology trends. With this in mind we came up with the idea of a smart IoT and AI based system that would have the following components
- Smart soil moisture based auto irrigation
- AI for plant disease detection based on image of leaf of the plant
- Crop prediction based on soil conditions gathered from IoT sensors
