Tools and Technologies for Agriculture 4.0

Tools and Technologies for Agriculture 4.0 demonstrates how smart agriculture enables farmers to achieve economic benefits by enhancing yield and increasing the size and quality of products with minimum cost. It talks about the usage of Internet of Things technology, sensors, remote sensing, digital image processing, artificial intelligence, deep learning, cloud computing, robotics, and embedded systems in smart farming. Key features-- Discuss soil quality management, soil quality measurement through the Internet of Things, and water quality evaluation using remote sensing. - Covers satellite-based vehicle guiding systems, cyber-physical systems for sowing, and movement control with DC motors. - Presents the use of information and communications technologies in irrigation, variable rate irrigation, drip irrigation, and sprinkler irrigation. -Explains deep water culture (DWC) system, ebb and flow system, nutrient film technique, and aeroponic system. -Illustrates segmentation-based techniques, region-growing-based algorithms, feature extraction techniques, and feature fusion. It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, smart grids, environmental engineering, agricultural engineering, computer science, and engineering.
