The greenhouse control based-vision and sensors
In digital era, almost everything is being automated with the aim of replacing hand-operated systems. In recent years, intelligent sensor systems are being used tremendously in agriculture. This witnesses the importance of Smart Greenhouse in the field of agriculture. In this field, a variety of sensors and technologies are used for remote monitoring and vision controlling. With these technologies, farmers instead of monitoring by seeing in the greenhouse for hours and hours, can stay home and control sensors online. By using these technologies one can easily monitor plant growth state in real-time. In this paper we develop a vision- and sensor-based control system for Smart Greenhouse. The main objective of this paper is to develop a multi-functional, easy to control, microcontroller-based system to monitor and record the measured values/metrics of environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and air quality of the Greenhouse. The environmental parameters are continuously modified and controlled by the system in order to optimize them in view of achieving maximum plant growth and yield/supply.
