Intelligent Color Observation System to Sustain Ideal Crop Health

摘要

The global water crisis has prevented people from across the world from accessing clean and reliable sources of water. The single largest cause of the crisis is our mismanagement of water in agriculture. The present invention solves this issue by implementing an intelligent micro-irrigation management system that maintains crop health. A preliminary set of crops given varying volumes of water daily is grown and based on user feedback, an initial crop irrigation volume and the minimum healthy color threshold is calculated. Each crop is given the initial irrigation volume, but as each crop responds in different ways, the system recognizes changes in health and adjusts the specific irrigation volume after each change in crop health to maintain crops at the color threshold while minimizing water wastage. Based on the collected data, trends are found to more accurately adjust the irrigation volume to give minimum water while maintaining the color threshold.
