Neuro-Fuzzy-Based Smart Irrigation System and Multimodal Image Analysis in Static-Clustered Wireless Sensor Network for Marigold Crops
As a decorative flower, marigolds have become one of the most attractive flowers, especially on the social and religious arena. Thus, this chapter reveals the potential positive resultants in the production of marigold through neuro-fuzzy-based smart irrigation technique in the static-clustered wireless sensor network. The entire system is sectionalized into clustering phase and operational phase. The clustering phase comprises three modules whereas the operational phase also includes three primary modules. The neuro-fuzzy term refers to a system that characterizes the structure of a fuzzy controller where the fuzzy sets and rules are adjusted using neural networks iteratively tuning techniques with input and output system data. The neuro-fuzzy system includes two distinct way of behavior. The vital concern of the system is to prevent unnecessary or unwarranted irrigation. Finally, on the utilization of multimodal image analysis and neuro-fuzzy methods, it is observed that the system reduces the overall utilization of water (~32-34%).
