Abstract
Automated Greenhouse System helps the farmers by controlling the environmental parameters through Internet of Things(IoT), including crop health inspection using image analysis. The Greenhouse is generally affected by two factors: plant disease and weather condition, which leads to the fall in production. The weather condition can be controlled through Microcontroller Unit(MCU) and the plant disease can be monitored using image inspection system. The research recommends a cheaper image evaluation framework for the plant disease analysis and fully automated Greenhouse with data security. The prototype of the proposed system consists of Raspberry pi, MSP432, Temperature sensor, Moisture sensor, Humidity sensor and OpenCV Image Inspection System. The actuators and motors are controlled by MCU MSP432 through relays upon reaching predetermined threshold values. The proposed architecture is equipped with embedded data security by implementing Extended Tiny Encryption Algorithm (XTEA). Lastly, the agriculturists can familiarize with the recommended framework through the cloud-centered application. The autonomous framework permits the agriculturists to evaluate and control their greenhouse ecology remotely.
