Background of the Invention
SN Patent number Abstract Distinguishing Feature of Present Invention
1 CN103626686A The invention discloses a method for extracting lutein ester from marigold. The method comprises the following steps: selecting a raw material, fermenting, pressing, grinding, pelleting, extracting, filtering, concentrating by using a reverse osmosis membrane, thin film evaporation, blending, and barreling and warehousing after passing the inspection. Isopropyl alcohol is used as a solvent for extracting the lutein ester without containing benzene, phenol and hydrocarbon substances, so that harms to human bodies are avoided and the residual amount of harmful substances is reduced; harmful residues can be discharged without gasification, so that the production time and the production cost are reduced greatly; by a reverse osmosis membrane concentration technology, a lutein ester extract is concentrated at room temperature, without heating; the reverse osmosis membrane concentration technology is good in technical and economic performance; by the reverse osmosis membrane concentration technology, the quality and the yield of the lutein ester are greatly improved. ? It provides the method for generating lutein ester for the treatment of eye health but our invention is focused on monitoring of marigold with the help of edge visited divide
Our invention is based on the method of image fusion algorithm.

It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Marigold is one of the most widely grown and planted flowers for garden decoration and they are frequently used as loose flowers for making garlands for a religious and social function. Marigolds are grown by seed. Yellow and orange-coloured variants are commonly grown in Indian states. If we discuss the types of marigold flower then African Marigolds (Tagetes erecta) and French Marigolds (Tagetes patula) are the most often cultivated varieties. Marigolds are perfect for garlands. During Dussehra and Diwali, Marigold flowers are in high demand. Tagetes species, which belong to the Asteraceae family, are the most common in the plant kingdom and are used in a variety of applications including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and ornamentals. It is available in a variety of colours and fragrances. In various parameters, the marigold flower can be measured through these parameters whereas soil , climate, seeds and propagation etc. They can grow in practically all seasons, with the exception of really cold temperatures, when they are frost prone.
Marigolds prefer a moderate climate with abundant growth and flowering. Temperatures between 180 and 300 degrees celsius are ideal for seed germination. Marigold flowers can be found virtually all year because they are planted throughout the wet season, winter, and summer.
The problem can be identified with the production of this flower in the rainy season, winter season and summer season and the most challenging parameter is the climate for improving and increasing the productivity of marigold flower in any festive season also.

Overall Architecture of the System:
The block diagram of the proposed system is given in figure – 1. The proposed edge devices are installed in the field in such a manner so that all areas may come in the proximity of at least one edge device. All the devices are connected to each other with the help of low range networking technologies. There is one central RF modem that is taking the sensed data from each of the devices and storing it on the cloud for further analysis. These devices perform the assigned tasks based on the information they receive from the field and send the log to the database on the cloud.
There is a constant power source supplied to each device installed in the field as well as an RF modem to keep the system operational. A user can visualize the action performed by the devices on an interface that is connected by the database stored in the cloud. The major objective of the proposed system is to enhance the outcome (increase the number of marigolds cultivated) as well as increase the quality by supplying the appropriate inputs by the device.
The above diagram tells about the process of the present system. The cameras associated with the system acquire the properties of the marigold plant along with sensors installed. If the color of the captured image of the marigold plant is analyzed and sensed, appropriate actions are taken. Water spray associated with the system starts watering the plants and they remain active until sensors send the overflow information to the system. The control of the water spray is done by sensors and the appropriate amount of water is supplied to the plants in order to amplify the production.
