The pest detection and management system using Raspberry Pi
operates through four key steps: RESULT:

1. Image Capture: The Raspberry Pi camera captures images The pest detection and management system demonstrated effective identification of pests
such as aphids and caterpillars in test environments. The use of a pre-trained deep learning
of crops at regular intervals. model allowed for accurate classification of pests, leading to timely and appropriate
management actions. This automation significantly reduced manual labor and reliance on
2. Image Processing and Pest Detection: These images are chemical pesticides, offering a sustainable approach to pest management in agriculture. The

neural network (CNN) to identify the type and presence of
pests.
SIMULATION OUTPUT :
3. Management Actions: Depending on the pest identified, the
system triggers appropriate actions, such as activating a
sprinkler to apply pesticides or repellents.

4. Automation and Feedback: The entire process is automated

for real-time monitoring and intervention, with the system
logging detections and actions for ongoing improvement.
