Abstract
In this study, artificial intelligence and image recognition technologies are combined with environmental sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) for pest identification. Real-time agricultural meteorology and pest identification systems on mobile applications are evaluated based on intelligent pest identification and environmental IoT data. We combined the current mature AIoT technology and deep learning and applied it to smart agriculture. We used deep learning YOLOv3 for image recognition to obtain the location of Tessaratoma papillosa and analyze the environmental information from weather stations through Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict the occurrence of pests. The experimental results showed that the pest identification accuracy reached 90%. Precise positioning can effectively reduce the amount of pesticides used and reduce pesticide damage to the soil. The current research provides the location of the pest and the extent of the pests to farmers can accurately use pesticide application at a precise time and place and thus reduce the agricultural workforce required for timely pest control, thus achieving the goal of smart agriculture. The proposed system notifies farmers of the presence of different pests before they start multiplying in large numbers. It improves overall agricultural economic value by providing appropriate pest control methods that decrease crop losses and reduce the environmental damage caused by the excessive usage of pesticides.
Highlights
Crop production is closely related to the presence of pests and plant diseases
The YOLOv3 model is used in this study, which is based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and has good results in terms of image detection and classification
The YOLOv3 model was used for deep learning training
Summary
Crop production is closely related to the presence of pests and plant diseases. Pests often hide behind the leaves of plants during the day to avoid the heat and appear on the leaves in the evening or at night. It is not easy to observe their presence on crops during the day. When farmers become aware of pest damage, pests have often multiplied and spread uncontrollably. At this stage, a large quantity of pesticides is required to spray the crops to eliminate the pests and reduce agricultural damage. Once the crops have been sprayed with pesticides in the growing season, pesticide residues remain even after washing
