Smart Systems for Precision Agriculture
Keywords
Biography
My research uses AI, sensors, and computer vision to optimize resource use and support agricultural decision-making. I use machine learning models like RNN, GRU, and LSTM to predict soil moisture, enabling smarter irrigation management and reducing water waste.
I also work on multispectral analysis to enhance plant health assessments by selecting key wavelengths, improving accuracy while reducing complexity. Additionally, I use deep learning with RGB and NIR imaging for weed detection, promoting precision farming and reducing chemical use.
I have investigated wireless communication in cold chain logistics, comparing RFID and Bluetooth for sensor data, showing Bluetooth's advantages in reliability and configurability.
I aim to develop smart systems that help farmers manage resources efficiently and sustainably.
