Abstract

To satisfy the needs of modern precision agriculture, a Precision Agriculture Sensing System (PASS) is designed, which is based on wireless multi-media sensor network. Both hardware and software of PASS are tailored for sensing in wide farmland without human supervision. A dedicated single-chip sensor node platform is designed specially for wireless multi-media sensor network. To guarantee the bulky data transmission, a bitmap index reliable data transmission mechanism is proposed. And a battery-array switching system is design to power the sensor node to elongate the lifetime. The effectiveness and performance of PASS have been evaluated through comprehensive experiments and large-scale real-life deployment.
