Wirelessly Controlled Plant Health Monitoring and Medicate System Based on IoT Technology

Abstract

AbstractThe availability of good quality fruits and vegetables is paramount in preventing starvation and minimizing outbreaks of diseases which leads to improving quality of life. One of the major obstacles of the mentioned availability is plant leaf disease. Although manpower plays a vital role in detecting such problems it is time-intensive, expensive, and very inefficient. Thus, developing a mechanism to vigorously monitor leaf's health and detect diseases of plant leaves at early stages is mandatory so that one can produce plenty. In this contribution, a system that detects leaf disease is developed using image processing algorithms, the k-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), and multilayer perception (MLP) machine learning algorithms are compared based on plant disease detection and classification systems performances. We also developed a prototype of simple-to-install technology that can recognize leaf diseases and allow medicine flow based on the results. This paper presents a smart plant health monitoring system that takes into account humidity, temperature, and soil contents.KeywordsImage processingIoTKNNMLPSVM
