Abstract

Every year farmers experience huge losses due to pest infestation in crops & this inturn impacts his livelihood. In this paper we discuss a novel approach to solve this problem by constantly monitoring crops using video processing, cloud computing and robotics. The paper concentrates in methodologies to detect pests in one of the most popular fruits in the world - the tomato. An insight into how the idea of the Internet of Things can also be conceptualized in this project has been elaborated.
