Soil Quality Measurement using Image Processing and Internet of Things

Recent developments in the embedded systems have been motivating in investigating the reliable solutions w.r.t to the environment monitoring system. The research work mainly focuses on building a system which can be used universally at any scale to monitor the parameters in given agricultural land. With the evolution of various cameras and microcontrollers coupled with the Internet using Internet of Things (IoT) is possible to remotely monitor the parameters such as pH, moisture level and amount of nutrients content in the soil. The Raspberry -Pi is been used along with the raspberry-pi camera to capture real time data (images) from environment and by using IoT data is fetched and displayed on monitor screen. Using image processing, pH value and moisture level are determined and based on these values, soil nutrients and suitable crops information will be provided instantly.
