Machine Learning based Pest Identification in Paddy Plants

The rapid increase of the human population also increases the demand on food. According to our illiteracy rate and poverty we lose a huge percentage of crops every year due to the climate change and pests. The main goal of this paper is to identify all the pest that are present in the agriculture field and apply certain measures to prevent them from destroying crops and to make this possible we will be classifying the pest available in a field by using a microprocessor along with infrared camera and normal camera which would be attached to a quadcopter that would fly over the field and identifying the pest.
