Development of an ultrasonic wave emission system based on multimedia database in a smart farm

Abstract

Due to the development of the recent ICT (Information and Communication Technology), ICT has been applied to the agriculture and it is improving the productivity and quality of the crop through its utilization. In addition, with the realization of fast networks like 5G, IoT (Internet of Things) technology which can link various things around us has been applied in various aspects of life. Consequently, the services and related markets applying it are expected to grow greatly in the future. On the other hand, in the field of crop cultivation, it was possible to improve productivity by spraying fertilizer or pesticide on crops in the past, but for consumers who seek healthy food, they want to be eco-friendly, and cause no harm to the health of crops. In this paper, we develop an ultrasonic wave emission system based on multimedia database in a smart farm using ICT. Through this, environmental information of crops growing in smart farm is collected by using IoT device and is managed by multimedia database. In addition, by providing an optimal environment through ultrasonic wave emission, we can promote crop growth and suppress diseases and pests. Also, this system stores and manages multimedia data such as temperature, humidity, and ultrasonic waves, and suggests a method of extracting knowledge information for ultrasonic emission based on this. In order to prevent transmission delay time between each component, we also propose optimization methods for database processing. Using the system developed in this paper, it will be possible to make consumers interested in finding healthy food by cultivating more eco-friendly crops.
