RETRACTED ARTICLE: Smart indoor crop grower based on smart database using IoT

Abstract

We propose a new type of smart server based smart indoor crop grower using IoT(Internet of Things). The proposed smart indoor crop grower provides visual information for intuitively knowing the current cultivation status, as well as IoT-based sensor control, sensor data processing, communication control controller, smart server based sensor data storage, and building the optimal cultivation environment. It consists of a smart app that allows the user to know the real-time situation information of the smart indoor crop grower and to control the grower according to the situation. In particular, the FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) function was used to quickly notify the user in the event of an emergency with the grower, and the grower was constructed by applying an image processing technique to extract the growth status information of the cultivated grain. In addition, functional expansion was secured by configuring a programming function module to enable active coping even when a sensor is added. The proposed algorithm was applied to a self-produced smart indoor crop grower to confirm the superiority of its performance through experiments. The proposed smart indoor crop grower can be used as a basic resource for strengthening agricultural technology capabilities by developing technologies that are central to the agricultural field.
