Abstract
Agriculture is the primary occupation of most of the population of India. The crop yield in agriculture depends on a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, rainfall and the amount of pesticides spread on the farm. The availability of labor and labor cost are major problems nowadays. With the help of emerging technology such as drone spraying, the time, labor cost and amount of pesticide wastage is highly reduced. In this paper, the collection of individual plant crowns, called canopy green fields, is identified using color image processing and a camera mounted on drones (hexa-copter). Over the detected canopy, the pesticides are discharged with appropriate pressure using the sprayer. The multifunctional drone is used for this purpose to test the amphitheatre area of the Sandip Foundation Campus. The experimental result shows that the accurate detection of the canopy is achieved with efficient spraying of pesticides in less time as compared with the traditional manual spraying method.
