Real-Time Monitoring and Disease Detection in Greenhouses Using IoT and Deep Learning
摘要
This chapter explores the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and deep learning models to enable real-time monitoring and disease detection in greenhouse environments. It outlines two primary objectives: developing an affordable IoT-based monitoring system and implementing deep learning algorithms for plant disease identification. Utilizing sensors connected to cost-effective IoT platforms, such as Arduino, essential parameters-including temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil moisture-are continuously monitored to maintain optimal growing conditions. The seamless data transmission capabilities of IoT enhance the real-time processing of this information, allowing for automatic control of actuators to ensure an ideal greenhouse environment and mitigate problems like rotten roots. A deep learning model, built on the DenseNet121 architecture and trained on a comprehensive plant disease dataset, is embedded within Node-RED to facilitate immediate disease identification, achieving an impressive accuracy of 97.11% across 16,012 images spanning ten classes. This integrated system not only promotes crop health and increases yield but also offers a scalable and economically viable solution for future agricultural practices.
