III. PROBLEM STATEMENT AND
PRELIMINERIES:
Due to global warming more problem arises.
Agriculture is one of the fields which gets affected by its
changes. Currently one of the problems that framers face is
dessert locust swarms. It destroys all paddy fields and it is
difficult for farmers to control or destroy it. There are some
solutions which is used for this problem, all of those
methods are mostly based on geographical information. It’s FIG2. ARDUINO UNO BOARD
a complicated process, sometimes it is not accurate or not
easy to follow. Relay is used for controlling switch of the pump motor
og the system.
So, this project proposes a solution, which detects the
locust using image processing with MATLAB
programming, this process the image stored and the current
image of field by the algorithms with KAZE. This converts
image from colour to grey shade and match the similarities
and compare and take decision. If the match is 100%
accurate it alerts the user and destroys it by spraying fungus
automatically when it gets an alert signal from the system.

Here we use ARDUINO UNO with software like FIG4. PUMP MOTOR
ARDUINO IDE, embedded C and MATLAB program to
implement the process to detect the locust swarm with Pump motor is used for the fungus spraying. We use a
image processing and pump motor to spray the fungus. IOT module to upload the details in the cloud. MATLAB
program and embedded C program for UNO is used to
operate, we is IDE which is an open source for ARDIUNO.
KAZE algorithm is infused for the extraction of images to
find the presence of locust.

V. RESULT OF THE STUDY
The result of this study is that it destroys the locusts
using the fungus when it detects it by digital image
processing technique with the help of Arduino and
MATLAB program.
VI. ADVANTAGES
The main advantage of this proposed system is that it
is efficient and simple method to follow unlike the other
solutions. This process controls the locust from destroying
the crops in the field without any damage to it.
VII. CONCLUSION
The main purpose of the project is to help farmers to
protect their crops from locust and destroy them. With
reference to existing systems, considering their
disadvantages we have proposed a solution which is
effective and simple. In this we detect the locust using
image processing method and destroy by spraying
“Metarhizium acridum” fungus.
