DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
After analysing all the approaches for smart irrigation, we proposed a sensor-based approach that senses the moisture content of the soil in a given explicit space along with the auto-sense capability of determining soil requirements (water, mineral) and protect them from climatic disaster as well as intrusion detection with real-time notification. The detailed step by step process is as follows:
[00018] Selection of Components
Here in this step, we collect some specific information is about good irrigation practices like soil moisture requirement, Temperature requirement, Time required for irrigation etc. So, for every problem, there exists a predefined sensor which can perform the same functionality as we do in manual irrigation techniques.
[00019] Deployment of the Sensor:
The next critical phase is the sensor deployment. The deployment of the sensor is based on several factors such as environmental conditions, climate, soil type etc. For the proper deployment of the sensor, we need full detail of all the above factors.
[00020] Preparations of the Data:
Since all the deployed sensors have different functionality and perform differently, i.e. some senses data based on soil moisture content, some senses data based on climatic conditions etc. Since for preparation of datasets we choose only that data using Bayesian analysis.
[00021] Prediction from the datasets:
Since in our proposed project, we will use statistical and analytical cloud platform for data analysis. Since IBM Watson is hosted on cloud thus it provides security as well as protection form the network threats and cloud environment helps in faster processing of data.
[00022] Test and Result Analysis
The soil moisture was determined as a percentage (v/v%) using the formula: The percentage yield of plant extract or essential oil =
(a) Depth of water (dw)
bulk density of soil percentage of water
■ x T^. x depth of soil
1 nr\ r
bulk density of water 100
percentage of water
= the relative bulk density x — x depth of soil
For the calculation of the volume of water against dry soil we took volumetric water content, 9
Ptv Pw
The Vw will be calculated by the help of the sensor which we deployed on the ARM-based Arduino board.
The approach works on the principle of Bayesian Analysis Technique (BAT).
Bayesian Analysis Technique (BAT) is the mathematical formula of statistical inference in which Bayes' theorem is used to update the probability for a hypothesis as more evidence or information becomes available.
In this approach, first, a sensor will calculate the data from the designated area in which it is deployed.
The data which is collected from the different sensors will be stored in a central repository for further analysis.
The central repository will send data to the statistical and analytical cloud platform for data parsing as well as analysis purpose.
Since we have programmed the portable device to send data prepared from the Bayesian analysis, this factor reduces the amount of data sent to the statistical and analytical cloud platform, and hence it helps in reducing time complexity for the complete process.
After the complete analysis (Statistical+ Bayesian), if there occurs any deviation from the predefined data or values. It will generate a real-time notification to the users.
The data extracted from the several sensors parameters will be stored in a blockchain-based data structure hosted on a cloud platform
[00023] THE AUTOMATED SENSOR
The design of the essential components of the project is treated here, for the experimental purpose we use ARM-Based board. Here is a list of the components and tools required,
Arduino Uno
PCB
Piezoelectric Disk
Header Pins
A breadboard (optional)
Wires
Soldering Iron
Soldering Lead
b) For this project, we will be using digital pins of the Arduino Board, because it is portable and easy to
implement. The step by step process of making agricultural sensors is as follows:
1. Choose Arduino Uno, board with a Lithium-ion battery
2. Attach Piezoelectric Disk to the board as in Figure a, Since Piezoelectric Disk has the ability to generate an electric charge in response to change in any defined situation (i.e. mechanical or electrical) and used to generate a heatmap for any intrusion.
Fig a
3. Since the working of the sensor is governed by the backend program, so we programmed the sensor to capture data and responds to them.

WORKING STEPS:
In this approach, as mentioned in Figure b, first, a sensor will calculate the data from the designated
area in which it is deployed.
The data which is collected from the different sensors will be stored in a central repository for further
analysis.
The central repository will send data to statistical and analytical cloud platform cloud for data parsing
as well as analysis purpose.
Since we have programmed the portable device to send data prepared from the Bayesian analysis, this
factor reduces the amount of data sent to the statistical and analytical cloud platform, and hence it helps
in reducing time complexity for the complete process.
After the complete analysis (Statistical + Bayesian), if there occurs any deviation from the predefined
data or values. It will generate a real-time notification to the users.
