Abstract

Indians are celebrating more number of festivals than any other country. In festival celebrations, flowers are used as a prime element. Without flowers we will not celebrate even single festival. Most popular flowers in south India is Nerium oleander, jasmine, rose, etc. These flowers are demanded high among the flowers due to its fragrance. Another added advantage is its less cost. Though it has many advantages, certain drawbacks limit the business. One major problem is plucking flower at the right time. It is very difficult task because the workers must pluck the flowers before its blossom. So, they have to pluck early morning around 4’o clock under weak light condition. At weak light condition workers may not able to identify the insects and snakes. Because of this workers efficiency is reduced as well as some of them died. To overcome this problem, we proposed a device for plucking and packing of flower buds. The proposed device can able to move forward, backward and rotate. Camera with light is used to capture the image of the flower bud. Image processing technique is used to match the image of the bud. Robot arm is used to pluck the bud. Container is used to pack the buds. The proposed device is a waterproof device.
