Objective

To Design, develop a prototyping of a drone for application in real time agriculture fields for farmer about insights and analytics about his field To conduct research in the fields of drone applications and scouting efficiency.

GPS

we aim to use a drone with GPS enabled flight controller and creating waypoints using ground Controller, making it to autonomously maneuverer through the predetermined path

Helpful Tool

Useful as a tool to our local growers and that they fully understand the effectiveness of and Agricultural Drone.
Helping Farmers navigate and analyze the field and get insights at anytime

Software

The Proposed System will use drone-based mapping and analytics for agriculture aided by GPS, Sensors and Algorithms based on using MATLAB, Python with a few more additions in it.

Agriculture 

The aerial view provided by a drone can reveal many issues such as crop count, distribution. This helps to show the farmer the differences between healthy and unhealthy plants, count. a difference not always clearly visible to the human eye

Drones

Drones are remote controlled aircraft with no human pilot on board. These have a huge potential in agriculture in supporting evidence-based planning and in spatial data collection.

Action

To carve out details and plan for an upscaled drone operation. Identify problems early - plan a solution before your crops are affected.

Desease Detection Using Machine Learning

Farmers are under increasing strain on all fronts: they must supply expanding food demand while working with less space, adapting to climate
change, and using fewer chemical treatments to comply with rigorous laws. It's a global issue, and it's a key component of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, which encourage more sustainable agricultural methods and beyond.

The expansive layouts of capacity and type of anything are discussed in a reasonable plan, which is the first stage of the
plan interaction. Collaborations, interactions, cycles, and systems are all part of the plan. It entails an understanding of people's needs and how to address them with products, services, and cycles. Idea pictures and models are common old rarities of decent
design.

Implementation

Computer vision implemented with drone robotics provides the unique opportunity to increase Agriculture efficiency. Automated search algorithms could identify density disparities in forest patches and provide management personally with efficient time and warming such that greater potential damage could be minimized.

 The Proposed System will use drone-based mapping and analytics for agriculture aided by GPS, Sensors and Algorithms based on using MATLAB, Python with a few more additions in it.

The Algorithm and system Developed will then be deployed in a virtual simulation tool to understand and verify the system’s capabilities
and improve them using Machine Learning and other data as ground truth information to understand its real-life implications.

Hardware

F450 QUADCOPTER FRAME 4-AXIS

It's a 450mm quad frame made out of high-quality materials. The arms are made of ultra-durable polyamide nylon, while the main structure is made of glass fibre.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR

PROPELLER

A set of 2 x 1045 Propellers. The set includes one clockwise rotating and one counter-clockwise rotating propeller with 2 x propeller shaft adapters.

ECS

30A BLDC ESC ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLER can drive motors which consume up to 30A current.

BATTERY

11.1V 2200mAH Lipo battery is
Capable of maximum continuous
discharge rates up to 25C

RASPBERRY PI

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model with  the Camera Module 2 can be used
to take high-definition video

SOFTWARE

PYTHON

This language is used to code all programs written in this project.

JUPYTER

a dedicated Python (IDE) providing a wide range of essential tools for Python developers, tightly integrated to create a convenient environment for productive Python, web and data science development

MATLAB

MATLAB provides AI capabilities similar to those of dedicated AI tools like TensorFlow and more importantly, only MATLAB lets you integrate AI into the complete workflow for developing a fully engineered system.

Future Scope

Just like any other career choice, technology helps improve any field of study. Farming will be improved by UAVs when the farmer starts using this data for is decision-making process. To Improve Crop Yield.
Making a data-driven decision includes analysis of what the problems are and how big of an impact they are making before any actual damage.
Growers and insurers can use these drones as a tool to shorten timelines and increase accuracy for crop insurance claim using technology of crop detection and analysis.
