Drone based crop monitoring system

The Drone-Based Crop Monitoring System provides an efficient and modern approach to agricultural monitoring by integrating drone technology, cameras, GPS, and image-processing techniques. The system helps farmers monitor large agricultural fields, observe crop growth, and identify potential problems such as diseases, pest attacks, and unhealthy plant conditions at an early stage.   By reducing manual inspection and providing location-based crop information, the proposed system supports timely agricultural decision-making and more efficient utilisation of resources. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can further improve crop analysis and automated problem detection.   In conclusion, the Drone-Based Crop Monitoring System has the potential to improve agricultural productivity, reduce crop losses, save time, and promote precision agriculture. It represents a valuable step towards smart farming and sustainable agricultur development
