Our Solution
Crop disease detection has traditionally been conducted through manual inspections which are often
time-consuming, labor-intensive. Recent advancements have introduced remote sensing technology,
including the use of drones (UAVs), to overcome these limitations. Drones equipped with
multispectral, thermal, and RGB cameras can capture images, enabling the detection of early
signs of disease stress. The use of drones for monitoring plant health, emphasizing early
disease detection and targeted interventions to lesser the use of pesticides. while drones
have been employed in large-scale agriculture, there is still a gap in optimizing real-time
data analysis and integrating actionable insights with easily learnable mapping techniques
for small and medium-sized farms. The proposed system aims to address these limitations by
combining UAV surveillance with machine learning models for precise, real-time detection,
improving sustainability and diagnosis of crop diseases, offering a more scalable,
affordable and efficient solution.
Project Objectives
- To design and implement a drone-based system for real-time detection and diagnosis of crop diseases.
- Collect specific and actual images of farms as we are collecting by drone to feed real processing data for the ML model.
- To integrate advanced machine learning algorithms for accurate identification and classification of early disease signs.
- To provide farmers with readable and actionable insights, enabling timely interventions to reduce crop loss and improve yield.
How It Works
This project introduces a drone-based system for real-time crop disease detection using RGB imaging and machine learning algorithms. Designed to fly 1-2 meters above crops, such as wheat and tomatoes, the system captures detailed images for precise analysis. It aims to provide actionable insights for early disease identification, enabling timely interventions, reducing crop loss, using less pesticides as using on targeted part of field and improving yields and scalability.
