Abstract:This project deals about the status and efficiency of agricultural land i.e.,soil condition checking and crop disease as agricultural production inversely affected by pest infection and plant diseases .The IOT in environmental monitoring helps to know about the condition of soils and crop to enhance the productivity of farm .Here,unmannered aerial vehicle ,an aircraft with no pilot onboard,commonly known as drone used to survey the farmland and collect information regarding the soil properties and crop condition and sends those to server. The flying drone consists of camera,sensors and IOT system .With the help of electronic sensors we are able to obtain values of phosphorous,nitrogen,moisture etc. Thus the property of soil.IOT system picks up the sensor data and captures the image regarding the infected areas in farm.Thus the image processing unit receives image as input and produces image characteristic features.Image processing hardware follows the steps as 1)Image acquisition 2)Image pre-processing 3)Segmentation 4)Feature extraction 5)Identification .To view remotely the conditions in the form of images the hardware device i.e.,microcontroller is connected to a wireless technology as Zigbee. Keywords: IoT, drone, image processing, zigbee, electronic sensors.
