Abstract

AbstractAs our country’s subsistence farmers continue to encroach on natural ecosystems, the interaction between farmers and animals grows, resulting in conflicts. We investigated how raiding patterns fluctuate with different seasons, farm land, and crop varieties. A smart scarecrow system has been proposed here to minimize crop raiding and man animal conflict from wild animals and birds. The scaring system works in three parts, such as object detection, message sending, and automatic height adjustment. Object detection is done by the PIR sensor and preventive action has been taken by initiating a servo, speaker, and blinking light. After object detection, alert will be sent by IoT cloud to the farm owner. Depending upon seasonal cropping, the pattern height of the system gets automatically adjusted by using motor, string pulley, and sliding drawer mechanism after the activation of ultrasonic sensor. The proposed study obtains the samples from different farms that are combined and observed how the object detection vary day and night in three seasons in order to provide the overall system efficiency. It is more convenient and cost effective than traditional scaring strategies like trapping, hunting, and wood fencing. The present system is made up of metal body, which does not require any manpower and at the same time, it can work under any worst climate conditions.KeywordsPrecision agricultureSmart scarecrowObject detectionSmart farmingIoT cloudServo motorUltrasonic sensorWireless sensor networkAgriculture field monitoring
