scholarly journals Automatic Fish Feeder System for Aquaponics using Wi-Fi Based WSN

Aquaponics is a farming method, which is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, which grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the plants, and the plants naturally filter the water for the fish. The purpose of this project is to build an automatic fish feeder system for aquaponics using image processing technique with the help of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This helps the farmers to reduce manual effort and safeguard a balanced food delivery. The number of fish in the pond may vary over time, so the amount of fish feed provided need to be changed. As there will be a large number of fish moving randomly in a pond, the manual tracking and counting of fish is very difficult. It is a time consuming and erroneous process. This work focuses on developing a system that tracks and counts the fish in the pond for aquaponics. This automatic fish identification system processes the video of the entire pond and makes it easier to estimate the count of fish. The frames from the video are processed using Raspberry-Pi board and the count of fish is transmitted through Wi-Fi. Such a system would assist to feed the fish accordingly. Based on the count transferred, a fish feeder mechanism is controlled using NodeMCU at the other end of the Wi-Fi. The amount of fish feed remaining in the feeding box is informed to the user through mobile application.

Intravenous drip diffusion is a common practice to treat patients in hospitals. During treatment, nurses must check the condition of the infusion bag frequently before running out of fluid. This research proposes a novel method of checking the infusion bag using an image processing technique on a compact Raspberry PI platform. The infusion monitoring system proposed here is based solely on capturing the image of the infusion bag and the accompanying bag/ tube. When the infusion fluid enters the patient, the surface of the liquid will decrease, and at the end will reach the bottom of the infusion bag. When the image of the fluid surface touches the bottom of the infusion bag, a mechanism will trigger a relay, and then activate a pinch valve to stop the flow of the infusion fluid before it runs out. The entire system incorporates a digital camera and Raspberry as the image processor. The surface of the liquid is determined using the Canny Edge Detection algorithm, and its relative position in the tube is determined using the Hough Line Transform. The raw picture of the infusion bag and the processed image are then sent via a wireless network to become part of a larger system and can be monitored via a simple smartphone equipped with the proper application, thus becoming an Internet of Things (IoT). With this approach, nurses can carry on other tasks in caring for the patients while this system substitutes some work on checking the infusion fluid.

Recently, in computer vision and video surveillance applications, moving object recognition and tracking have become more popular and are hard research issues. When an item is left unattended in a video surveillance system for an extended period of time, it is considered abandoned. Detecting abandoned or removed things from complex surveillance recordings is challenging owing to various variables, including occlusion, rapid illumination changes, and so forth. Background subtraction used in conjunction with object tracking are often used in an automated abandoned item identification system, to check for certain pre-set patterns of activity that occur when an item is abandoned. An upgraded form of image processing is used in the preprocessing stage to remove foreground items. In subsequent frames with extended duration periods, static items are recognized by utilizing the contour characteristics of foreground objects. The edge-based object identification approach is used to classify the identified static items into human and nonhuman things. An alert is activated at a specific distance from the item, depending on the analysis of the stationary object. There is evidence that the suggested system has a fast reaction time and is useful for monitoring in real time. The aim of this study is to discover abandoned items in public settings in a timely manner.


Nowadays, quadcopters are commonly used. Quadcopters are unmanned aerial vehicles with four propellers to provide lift to fly and hover above ground. Quadcopter nowadays is a very common commercial item in everyday life. Some quadcopters are designed to do 3D or 2D mapping of a certain area or to take videos or just for entertainment purposes. Quadcopter is a very versatile item and is able to change into anything for example a quadcopter can also be used for security purposes to decrease the crime rate of our country. The objective of this study is to design and develop a quadcopter with image processing system to have the ability to measure the distance of a human from the drone itself. The quadcopter is designed to be small in size and have a mini computer like Raspberry Pi on top of it to compute the algorithm to calculate the distance of the human by using image processing technique through the camera which is setup on the drone. Human detecting algorithm YOLO and software Open CV is chosen to detect human and calculate the distance from the quadcopter. The results show that the system is quite limited by the capabilities of the hardware. The system shows an accuracy of more than 90 percent when the human is standing within a certain range. Both the accuracy of the distance sensing and human recognizing system is affected by the limitation of the hardware.


One of major issue nowadays is the agricultural productivity which is something our Nation’s economy highly depends. Technology based advancements may lead to detection of diseases in plants which are quite natural. Care should be taken in this area before it causes serious effects on plants which mainly affect the product quality, quantity or productivity. Early stage detection of diseases in plants through some automatic technique is beneficial as it reduces a huge work of monitoring in large acres of crops.
