Abstract

The long-term common goal of high-end agrisystem is to attain sustainable and productive farming at high standards of food quality. Water plays an important role in supplying plant nutrition and a healthy plant root produces quality food. The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and drones see many precision farming applications such as disease detection from the image, identification of crop-readiness, farming field management, monitoring crop health, soil profile and active irrigation automation. The proposed method is an AI technique – deep learning based noninvasive technique applied to drone captured images of soil to detect soil moisture condition. In our initial evaluation, the proposed AI technique can determine dry or wet soil from drone image. The test is carried out in an agricultural research and demonstration farm to study the feasibility of our proposed method.
