A Proposal for an Agricultural Irrigation Control System Based on Support Vector Machine

In recent years, various agricultural support systems for greenhouse horticulture have been proposed and implemented. One such existing agricultural support system is a cloud system that enables users to monitor the greenhouse climate or remotely control some devices using smartphones or tablet PCs. However, existing systems assume that users have expertise in agriculture, because users decide to which and when control devices should be run based on sensor data. Therefore, it is difficult for non-experienced farmers to use existing agricultural support system. In this context, it is aimed to develop an agricultural support systems for non-experienced farmers. In this paper, we propose an agricultural cloud support system for greenhouse horticulture that is SVM-based agricultural automatics irrigation system that automatically adjusts the quantity of water based on sensor data. This system enables users who don´t have expertise in agriculture to irrigate properly.
