scholarly journals Hybrid K Mean Clustering Algorithm for Crop Production Analysis in Agriculture

The proposed research work aims to perform the cluster analysis in the field of Precision Agriculture. The k-means technique is implemented to cluster the agriculture data. Selecting K value plays a major role in k-mean algorithm. Different techniques are used to identify the number of cluster value (k-value). Identification of suitable initial centroid has an important role in k-means algorithm. In general it will be selected randomly. In the proposed work to get the stability in the result Hybrid K-Mean clustering is used to identify the initial centroids. Since initial cluster centers are well defined Hybrid K-Means acts as a stable clustering technique.

Abstract Cluster analysis is an unsupervised learning process, and its most classic algorithm K-means has the advantages of simple principle and easy implementation. In view of the K-means algorithm’s shortcoming, where is arbitrary processing of clusters k value, initial cluster center and outlier points. This paper discusses the improvement of traditional K-means algorithm and puts forward an improved algorithm with density clustering algorithm. First, it describes the basic principles and process of the K-means algorithm and the DBSCAN algorithm. Then summarizes improvement methods with the three aspects and their advantages and disadvantages, at the same time proposes a new density-based K-means improved algorithm. Finally, it prospects the development direction and trend of the density-based K-means clustering algorithm.

Barring any cancer prevention breakthroughs, the expansion of the aged population will likely increase number of older individuals diagnosed for cancer in the coming decades. Dimensions of the cancer burden and its devastating manner of challenge ahead are inferred in the context of with aging populations to underscore the possible increase that demographic factors may have on the magnitude of the cancer problem for older persons in the future years. Presently the detection procedure is very time consuming and not accurate, in this respect there is a need of more accurate, fast and efficient method through computing technologies. The present research work incorporates quantum computing with clustering algorithm i.e. Shor's algorithm of quantum computing with hierarchical clustering technique. Here adaptation of Shor's algorithm helps to increase accuracy, and hierarchical clustering technique helps to detect the stages of cancer.

K-means algorithm has therefore become one of the methods widely used in cluster analysis. But the classification results of K-means algorithm depend on the initial cluster centers choice. We present a new neighborhood for PSO methods called the area of influence (AOI) and consider the combination of K-means has strong capacity of local searching and PSO has power global search ability. The improved PSO, i.e., improves the K-means local searching capacity, accelerates the convergence rate, and prevents the premature convergence effectively.

Clustering in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the methods to minimize the energy usage of sensor network. The design of sensor network itself can prolong the lifetime of network. Cluster head in each cluster is an important part in clustering to ensure the lifetime of each sensor node can be preserved as it acts as an intermediary node between the other sensors. Sensor nodes have the limitation of its battery where the battery is impossible to be replaced once it has been deployed. Thus, this paper presents an improvement of clustering algorithm for two-tier network as we named it as Multi-Tier Algorithm (MAP). For the cluster head selection, fuzzy logic approach has been used which it can minimize the energy usage of sensor nodes hence maximize the network lifetime. MAP clustering approach used in this paper covers the average of 100Mx100M network and involves three parameters that worked together in order to select the cluster head which are residual energy, communication cost and centrality. It is concluded that, MAP dominant the lifetime of WSN compared to LEACH and SEP protocols. For the future work, the stability of this algorithm can be verified in detailed via different data and energy.

AbstractWith increasing intensity of agricultural crop production increases the need to obtain information about environmental conditions in which this production takes place. Remote sensing methods, including satellite images, airborne photographs and ground-based spectral measurements can greatly simplify the monitoring of crop development and decision-making to optimize inputs on agricultural production and reduce its harmful effects on the environment. One of the earliest uses of remote sensing in agriculture is crop identification and their acreage estimation. Satellite data acquired for this purpose are necessary to ensure food security and the proper functioning of agricultural markets at national and global scales. Due to strong relationship between plant bio-physical parameters and the amount of electromagnetic radiation reflected (in certain ranges of the spectrum) from plants and then registered by sensors it is possible to predict crop yields. Other applications of remote sensing are intensively developed in the framework of so-called precision agriculture, in small spatial scales including individual fields. Data from ground-based measurements as well as from airborne or satellite images are used to develop yield and soil maps which can be used to determine the doses of irrigation and fertilization and to take decisions on the use of pesticides.

The barani (rain-fed) region accounts for about a fifth of the cultivated area in Pakistan. It has the potential to significantly increase crop production levels. Similarly, considerable scope exists in this area for the development of forests, fruit and vegetable gardening, pasture and stock rearing. Most of the natural resources are also found in this tract. Its hilly areas possess a vast potential for tourism. Besides, significant opportunities exist for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. An optimum utilisation of all this potential, obviously, is employmentgenerating and income-augmenting. Despite all such realisations this region as a whole, unfortunately, is identified as the least attended to area in terms of provision of socio-physical infrastructure, other development programmes and, even, research work. This led to a deterioration of the employment situation in the barani region as a whole. A poor information base and analysis thereof on employment and manpower related variables is also the consequence of such a treatment to this area. I This paper, using the data of a field survey, tries to fill, though partly, the vacuum on employment and related variables in the rural barani region. An attempt is made here to record and analyse the labour force participation rates, employment pattern (main economic activities) and unemployment/underemployment levels prevailing in the rural baran; areas of the provinces of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province (NWFP).
