Optic Eye in Sky Unmanned Quad Copter for Agriculture Automation

Abstract

In this paper we present a multi-purpose agricultural Quad copter to implement precision fertilizer, surveillance growth monitoring and Yield analyzing purpose. This will involve efficient utilization of intensive plant and soil monitoring, condition based use of fertilizers and the ability to work in unstructured environments. In this paper introduce a new image processing technology to comparing the color of unaffected leafs with the affected leafs. The picture of the crop is taken using the camera and pixel of the image color variations is spotted. This taken image then transfers using wireless camera to the central control processing system. If there is any color variation in the leaf like pest affected is calculated using pixel comparison. If variation is detect by the processing system then send a command to quad copter. The Quad copter has a motor with sprayer pump that can spray the minimum level of pesticides over crops to control the pest during the development of crop growth in proper timing.
