Deep CNN-Based Insect Detection for Precision Agriculture and Design of UAV to Spray Pesticides on Detected Area

Agriculture is India’s most common job, yet it lacks innovation and technology. As the world’s population expands, so does the demand for more food. Pesticides are used on farms to boost yield. The toxicity of the fertilizer has serious health repercussions for the farmer. So, it’s recommended to measure the amount of pesticide used and only apply it when necessary. We devised an insect-finding and insecticide-spraying mechanism. This is accomplished by employing a drone or Uninterrupted Ariel Vehicle. The drone has a camera that can photograph fields and lift pesticides weighing 3 to 4kg. After locating the insect, the insecticide is sprayed through the nozzles. In the proposed model, the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has reached state of the art in image processing and object detection issues. Deep CNN has the potential to self-learn hidden features that help with insect detection. When compared to other similar approaches, experimental findings on a real dataset to illustrate the usefulness of the suggested methodology. We identified insects on the crop with 90% accuracy using deep CNN. It helps farmers to increase crop yield while also shielding them from the detrimental effects of spraying pesticides on the field manually.
