Abstract In India, water wastage in agricultural fields becomes a challenging issue and it is needed to minimize the loss of water in the irrigation process. Since the conventional irrigation system needs massive quantity of water utilization, a smart irrigation system can be designed with the help of recent technologies such as machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT). With this motivation, this paper designs a novel IoT enabled deep learning enabled smart irrigation system (IoTDL-SIS) technique. The goal of the IoTDL-SIS technique focuses on the design of smart irrigation techniques for effectual water utilization with less human interventions.… More >

Abstract Precision agriculture enables the recent technological advancements in farming sector to observe, measure, and analyze the requirements of individual fields and crops. The recent developments of computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques find a way for effective detection of plants, diseases, weeds, pests, etc. On the other hand, the detection of plant diseases, particularly apple leaf diseases using AI techniques can improve productivity and reduce crop loss. Besides, earlier and precise apple leaf disease detection can minimize the spread of the disease. Earlier works make use of traditional image processing techniques which cannot assure high detection rate on apple… More >

Abstract Smart precision agriculture utilizes modern information and wireless communication technologies to achieve challenging agricultural processes. Therefore, Internet of Things (IoT) technology can be applied to monitor and detect harmful insect pests such as red palm weevils (RPWs) in the farms of date palm trees. In this paper, we propose a new IoT-based framework for early sound detection of RPWs using fine-tuned transfer learning classifier, namely InceptionResNet-V2. The sound sensors, namely TreeVibes devices are carefully mounted on each palm trunk to setup wireless sensor networks in the farm. Palm trees are labeled based on the sensor node number to identify the… More >

Abstract Rough set theory has been widely researched for time series prediction problems such as rainfall runoff. Accurate forecasting of rainfall runoff is a long standing but still mostly significant problem for water resource planning and management, reservoir and river regulation. Most research is focused on constructing the better model for improving prediction accuracy. In this paper, a rainfall runoff forecast model based on the variable-precision fuzzy neighborhood rough set (VPFNRS) is constructed to predict Watershed runoff value. Fuzzy neighborhood rough set define the fuzzy decision of a sample by using the concept of fuzzy neighborhood. The fuzzy neighborhood rough set… More >

Abstract In order to explore the impact of different structural design parameters and environmental factors on the performance of the hydrostatic guide rail, the flow field inside its oil chamber is simulated, which provides direction and guidance for the design and optimization of the guide rail system. Based on the theory of fluid lubrication and the Reynolds equation, numerical simulations are performed through a mathematical model. The results suggest that the bearing capacity of the oil film increases with the oil supply pressure. The film thickness and the film stiffness share a positive correlation. Different oil film thickness and different input… More >

Abstract Agriculture is essential for the economy and plant disease must be minimized. Early recognition of problems is important, but the manual inspection is slow, error-prone, and has high manpower and time requirements. Artificial intelligence can be used to extract fruit color, shape, or texture data, thus aiding the detection of infections. Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques show a massive success for image classification tasks. CNN extracts more detailed features and can work efficiently with large datasets. In this work, we used a combined deep neural network and contour feature-based approach to classify fruits and their diseases. A fine-tuned,… More >

Abstract This study presents a method for the detection of outliers based on the Variable Precision Rough Set Model (VPRSM). The basis of this model is the generalisation of the standard concept of a set inclusion relation on which the Rough Set Basic Model (RSBM) is based. The primary contribution of this study is the improvement in detection quality, which is achieved due to the generalisation allowed by the classification system that allows a certain degree of uncertainty. From this method, a computationally efficient algorithm is proposed. The experiments performed with a real scenario and a comparison of the results with… More >
