Abstract

Agriculture is a most important and ancient occupation in India. As an economy of India is based on agricultural production, utmost care of food production is necessary. Virus, fungus and bacteria such pest causes infection to plants with loss in quantity and quality production. Because of that large amount of loss in production. Hence proper care of plants is necessary for same. This paper presents an overview of Raspberry Pi based Intelligent Autonomous Farming Robot using Image Processing methods to detect various plant diseases. Farming Robot provides more efficient ways to detect diseases caused by fungus, bacteria or virus on plants. Mere observations by eyes to detect diseases are not accurate. Overdose of pesticides causes harmful chronic diseases on human beings. Nowadays due to spraying of pesticides on crop framers suffer from many chronic diseases that even caused death of farmer. Excess use also damages plants nutrient quality. It results in huge loss of production to farmer. Hence use of Raspberry Pi based Intelligent Autonomous Farming Robot using Image Processing methods to detect and classify diseases in agricultural applications is helpful.
