ThesisItem Open Access Cloud based real time soil moisture content monitoring using IOT and unmanned aerial vehicles(G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2021-09) Joshi, Kritika; Singh, RajeevRecently, agricultural UAVs or drones have become one of the most useful agricultural instruments utilized in smart farming, especially in the ground sensing applications. The UAV is employed as a mobility hotspot in the area lacking of the communication network to collect the data of soil and crops in order to monitor and control the water management system for precision agriculture. The agricultural UAV with a combination of IoT sensors will be effected in such areas. At present, the IoT sensors detect temperature and moisture of the soil and send them to farmers by using the cloud but not by using UAV. In this work we combined and connected the UAVs and IoT network based sensor. By this connection, the identification of locations that suffer from droughts, water scarcity, and dryness of soil profile can be easily observed. It will help the farmers to take precautionary methods such as contouring, damming, draining the surface water, and curtailing for further irrigation. The objective of this work is to design a system to collect and measure the soil moisture contents remotely in real-time through drone. For a country like India whose main source of revenue for citizens is agriculture, this domain is not explored sufficiently in terms of technology. The lack of sufficient research in this domain has been a problem for the livelihood of those farmers whose sole existence depends on agriculture. An economical process could be devised that could help automate the process of knowing the exact soil moisture content of the entire farmland. Such process would be a boon for the farmers. above work is only a step forward in this direction. In this thesis work we monitor real time soil moisture by collecting the data using the soil moisture sensor and Arduino UNO. The transmitted data is transmitted to the drone who further send the resultant data for real time monitoring and analysis to the cloud.ThesisItem Open Access Performance and emission characteristics of CI engine using diesel-sesame oil blend with diethyl ether as an additive(G.B.
