Abstract— This presents system and method of generating dynamic crop maps and water accounting reports via UAV. The invention interfaces a drone with a cloud-based mobile application to determine optimal amount of water required for agricultural per season. The mobile application collects crowd sourced information from farmers, agricultural practitioners, and local authorities. Further, the drone verifies and captures details like field size, location and crops grown, water sources using image processing techniques.
Computations are made on the collected data in comparison with traditionally recorded statistics to estimate water utilization data. Finally, crop maps and water reports are generated and are available to controlling authority officials for analysing and making an informed decision.
The project gives details about the design and implementation of the proposed invention. Firstly, the app is divided into 3 interfaces: Farmer (for collecting field details), Authority (for verifying the registered details) and Controlling authority (accessing and analysing water reports and crop maps). Local authorities can verify the crowd sourced information via two methods: through drone or manually visiting the site. After that, Google maps API is used to generate crop-type maps for every season. At the backend, water requirement of each crop grown in a particular area is computed along with quantity of crop grown, water source used, soil type of land, temperature etc.
Thus, controlling authority officials can access and analyze these dynamic crop maps and proper
water reports and make informed decisions to ensure optimal use of irrigation water.
