Over the past decades, integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and computer vision (CV) technology has shown promising results in mitigating crop losses caused by wild animal attacks. Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of these technologies in providing real-time monitoring and early detection of animal intrusions into agricultural fields. By deploying WSNs equipped with motion sensors and cameras, farmers can receive instant alerts when wild animals enter their fields, allowing for timely intervention to prevent crop damage. Furthermore, advancements in CV algorithms possess made possible to automatically detect and classify the animal species, facilitating targeted response strategies. For example, sophisticated image processing techniques can differentiate between harmless birds and destructive mammals, allowing farmers to focus their efforts on deterring the most damaging species. Field trials and pilot projects implementing WSN-CV systems have reported significant reductions in crop losses attributed to wild animal raids. By leveraging data collected through sensor networks and analyzed using computer vision algorithms, farmers can make informed decisions regarding pest and insect management strategies. This data-driven approach has led to more efficient utilization of resources, such as targeted application of insecticides and pesticides, resulting in both economic and environmental benefits. Moreover, the integration of WSN-CV technology has enabled the development of innovative deterrent systems that leverage artificial intelligence and automation. These systems can deploy non-lethal methods, such as sound or light-based repellents, to deter wild animals without causing harm to the environment or wildlife populations. Overall, the combination of wireless sensor networks and computer vision technology provides the promising resolution to the long-standing issue of wild animal-related losses in agriculture. By harnessing the power of data and automation, farmers can effectively protect their crops while minimizing negative impacts on wildlife and ecosystems. |
