K-means Based Automatic Pests Detection and Classification for Pesticides Spraying
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
Agriculture is the backbone to the living being that plays a vital role to country’s economy. Agriculture production is inversely affected by pest infestation and plant diseases. Plants vitality is directly affected by the pests as poor or abnormal. Automatic pest detection and classification is an essential research phenomenon, as early detection and classification of pests as they appear on the plants may lead to minimizing the loss of production. This study puts forth a comprehensive model that would facilitate the detection and classification of the pests by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In this approach, the image has been segmented from the fields by using enhanced K-Mean segmentation technique that identifies the pests or any object from the image. Subsequently, features will be extracted by using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and classified using ANN to classify pests. The proposed approach is verified for five pests that exhibited 94% effectiveness while classifying the pests.
