Automatic Pest Detector in Agricultural Farms using Acoustic and Image Wireless Sensor Network Technology

India is an agricultural country which depends on agriculture and crops for its economic survival. The production of crops is majorly affected by biotic living organisms, mainly the parasites and pathogens. To handle this continuous monitoring of the crop production is addressed seriously in developed countries. Sensor technology is a promising technology which shows great significance in addressing the agriculture and monitoring based on different parameters. In recent years the advanced wireless sensor networking technology has become popular in pest monitoring and early warning to farmers for timely management of potential pests in agriculture. Image sensors captures pests along with the system which would employ an acoustic device sensor for monitoring the pest’s noise level which would notify to the farmer of the specific area where the infestation is occurring.
