Kisan Sahayak

Overview

Kisan Sahayak is a comprehensive AgriTech solution that empowers farmers with data-driven insights. The system processes drone-captured imagery to analyze crop health using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and thermal analysis, providing actionable recommendations for irrigation and crop management.

Key Features

• Real-time drone imagery processing with OpenCV
• NDVI analysis for crop health monitoring
• Thermal imaging for irrigation optimization
• Weather API integration for predictive analytics
• Android app for farmer-friendly interface
• AWS cloud infrastructure for scalability

Technical Implementation

Built with Python and OpenCV for image processing, the backend analyzes multispectral drone imagery to calculate vegetation indices. The Android application, developed in Kotlin, provides an intuitive interface for farmers. AWS services handle data storage and processing, ensuring reliable performance even in rural areas with intermittent connectivity.

Impact

This solution helps farmers optimize water usage, detect crop diseases early, and make informed decisions about irrigation scheduling, potentially increasing crop yields by 20-30% while reducing water consumption.
